"For those who are looking for new ideas, concepts, and theories to develop a 21st-century understanding of our 21st-century global experience, Ian Bremmer's "The J Curve" is quintessential reading." -- Daniel Burstein, coauthor of "Big Dragon" and "Road Warriors", "InThe J Curve,Ian Bremmer (Tom Friedman with a Gladwellian streak) argues that nations follow a predictable path to democracy, one we should consider before invading them." --New Yorkmagazine, "For those who are looking for new ideas, concepts, and theories to develop a 21st-century understanding of our 21st-century global experience, Ian Bremmer's The J Curve is quintessential reading." -- Daniel Burstein, coauthor of Big Dragon and Road Warriors, "Thought-provoking...a welcome return to strategies that offer a more sustainable path for the future." -- James Steinberg, "Austin-American Statesman", "Bremmer convincingly argues that smart American diplomacy, harnessing the forces of globalization, can induce closed societies to open up without falling apart. Timely, thoughtful, and written with verve and clarity, this is an impressive work of analysis and prescription." -- Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution, former deputy secretary of state, "Ian Bremmer's groundbreaking book brings us an entirely new way to look at the world scene -- to understand today's worldwide political and economic problems and how to deal with them."-- Thomas Pickering, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, "A rare book that manages to be intellectually ambitious, policy-relevant, and layman-friendly.

Individual institutions can be assessed on the J curve as well and their evolution similarly evaluated. A stunning analysis, notable for its depth, scope, and clarity." -- Vinton G. Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google, "The J Curve is a fresh and useful way to examine the durability and stability of political systems that is essential to the formation of foreign policy. Bremmer's book is a stimulating effort to get away from the stale and anachronistic notions of international relations that too often, and disastrously, shape foreign policy." -- Brian Urquhart, former under-secretary-general of the United Nations, "For those who are looking for new ideas, concepts, and theories to develop a 21st-century understanding of our 21st-century global experience, Ian Bremmer's The J Curve is quintessential reading."-- Daniel Burstein, coauthor of Big Dragon and Road Warriors, "The J Curveprovides both policymakers and business strategists with an innovative set of conceptual tools for understanding political risk in rapidly changing societies, tools that integrate political, economic, and security perspectives in new and creative ways." -- Francis Fukuyama, author ofThe End of History and the Last Man, "In one simple graphic, arguably the world's most pressing geopolitical challenge." -- "The Economist", "The J Curve is a fresh and useful way to examine the durability and stability of political systems that is essential to the formation of foreign policy.
