Eurasia Group is a political risk consultancy founded in 1998 by Ian Bremmer.[2][3]

## History

[edit]

Eurasia Group reports on emerging markets including frontier and developed economies, in addition to establishing practices focused on geo-technology and energy issues. The organization's 2011 "Top Risks report" description of a G-Zero world lacking global leadership received attention at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos in 2011,[4] as well as in international media.[5][6][7] American politics led the firm’s 2020 report,[8] which was updated and re-released in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.[9]

In 2017, Eurasia Group launched a media company called GZERO Media,[10] featuring digital programming as well as a US national public television show called GZERO World with Ian Bremmer.[11]

On January 3, 2023, at Bloomberg, Ian Bremmer discussed the TOP-10 risks for the world to face in 2023 according to Eurasia Group.[12] The top ten risks of 2024, as outlined by Ian Bremmer and Cliff Kupchan in their 37-page report, and published in an 8 January article in Time, are as follows: the United States grappling with internal challenges; Middle East teetering on the edge; Ukraine facing partition; challenges posed by ungoverned artificial intelligence; the presence of an Axis of rogue nations; absence of a recovery in China; the struggle for critical minerals; minimal margin for error; return of El Niño; and engaging in risky business. Additionally, three potential Red Herrings for 2024 were identified: a crisis between the United States and China; populist takeover of European politics; and tensions between BRICS and G7.[13][14]

According to The Wall Street Journal, "this is the first such partnership between the consultancy and an asset manager".[19] In 2017, KPMG International partnered with Eurasia Group.[20] BMO partnered with Eurasia Group in 2023.[21]
