GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER is a public affairs series offering compelling discussion about global politics with people from all sides of the political spectrum. GZERO comes at a time when the world order that has united much of the globe since the end of World War II is fraying, and global summits like G-7 and G-20 no longer have the influence they once did.
