Ian Bremmer: India in 'Strategically Strong Position' as US Global Order Unwinds

In this special report, Ian Bremmer, President of Eurasia Group, discusses the 'Top Risks 2026' report and India's evolving role in a shifting global landscape. Bremmer highlights that while the United States has become 'unpredictable and unreliable' for many nations, India remains in a 'strategically quite strong position' due to its consistent leadership and economic reforms. He notes that India serves as a crucial hedge for the US against China and maintains robust relations with the G7 and the Global South. The discussion explores the emergence of a 'G0 world' where traditional rules are weakening and raw power gains significance. Bremmer also addresses the impact of US tariffs, the rise of multipolarity in the economic order, and the challenges posed by unregulated artificial intelligence. He concludes that despite the 'chaos' of declining American global leadership, India’s capacity for consistent foreign policy provides it with a unique advantage in the current geopolitical climate.
