  • His definition of emerging markets — "those countries where politics matter at least as much as economics for market outcomes" — has become an industry standard. 
  • G-Zero, his term for a global power vacuum in which no country is willing and able to set the international agenda, is widely accepted by policymakers and thought leaders.
