GZERO World with Ian Bremmer31 Okt 2025

The State of the World in 2025

This is normally where you’ll find extended versions of Ian Bremmer's interviews from the public television show, but today we're bringing you something a little different. Ian just returned from Tokyo, Japan where he delivered his annual State of the World address to packed audience of diplomats, business leaders, and opinion makers from around the world.

Each year, this speech is a chance to take stock of where things stand geopolitically, and today the picture is more uncertain than ever. We’re not just facing new conflicts and crises. We’re facing a deeper transformation of the global order, driven most significantly by the world’s most powerful country stepping back. The United States isn't losing influence because of weakness. It’s walking away by choice.

That decision is reshaping alliances, weakening global institutions, and leaving many of America’s closest partners searching for a plan B. In the absence of leadership, the G-Zero world becomes more chaotic, more transactional, and less stable.
