More quotes by Ian Bremmer
The two world wars boosted American power and devastated potential rivals to an extent that could not have lasted more than a few decades.
Ian Bremmer
I don't take things off. I either check things off or I add things.
Ian Bremmer
International institutions like the Security Council, the General Assembly, the G20, the BRICs, the IMF, etc., continue to be little more than an extension of the (increasingly conflicting) values and interests of member states.
Ian Bremmer
I think that the environment is very a complicated question. I am very sympathetic to people who support the environment who live in the United States. I am very sympathetic to people who don't support the environment who live in a very poor country.
Ian Bremmer
Authoritarian governments are now trying to ensure that the increasingly free flow of ideas and information through cyberspace fuels their economies without threatening their political power.
Ian Bremmer
State capitalism is about more than emergency government spending, implementation of more intelligent regulation, or a stronger social safety net. It's about state dominance of economic activity for political gain.
Ian Bremmer
Strong states and blocs of strong states are the only source of power and legitimacy capable of driving an international agenda in today's world.
Ian Bremmer
In China, the state controls the corporations, whereas in the United States, the corporations control the state.
Ian Bremmer
The United States is not longer going to be the world's policemen and our days of determining you're in or you're out around the world no matter what the level of direct American interest or connection are going to be very limited. Increasingly, Africa will be doing that.
Ian Bremmer
I don't see a coherent global order anywhere on the horizon.
Ian Bremmer
Berlin is a very edgy place, a very cosmopolitan place. It's a place where completely different ideas and cultures come together and clash in a very warm way. In a very warm-hearted way.
Ian Bremmer
Deeper state intervention in an economy means that bureaucratic waste, inefficiency and corruption are more likely to hold back growth.
Ian Bremmer
There is too large a divergence at the moment in the interests and values of the world's most powerful states.
Ian Bremmer
Political scientists don't work at banks which is a problem. As political issues become more important for the markets, analysts at banks are asked all sorts of questions they don't have the ability to answer. And if you're getting paid to answer questions as analysts at banks are you never want to be in the position of saying you don't know.
Ian Bremmer
I think political science is bad at prediction. We don't gaze into a crystal ball. I do not believe that we predict things.
Ian Bremmer
I absolutely am an environmentalist. I am probably more of an environmentalist than most people who live in the world, but I think that comes from my position in the world and that doesn't make me a better person.
Ian Bremmer
Whether it is gun control lobby, health care lobby, or abortion, pro-choice lobby, whatever it is, people are always trying to say that it is about restricting rights and they are never really prepared to talk about what the honest tradeoffs are. One of the things we need to do a better job of is actually painting those tradeoffs.
Ian Bremmer
Climate is a global issue. Coal is still the energy that is being used more than anything else to make electricity. The United States is using less as we're turning more to gas. But, around the world, that's what they're using.
Ian Bremmer
I think it's fantastically narcissistic to believe that in the entire universe, with all of the planetary systems that we've already discovered and the countless others that are out there, that we are the only forms of life.
Ian Bremmer
The real question is not are there other forms of life in the universe, but are there other intelligent forms of life out there right now. Because the universe is not only really big but it's also really long. It's been around for a long time it's going to be around for a long time.
