Anticipating Instability: Inside Prof. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita’s Risk Models

Professor Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, the Julius Silver Professor of Politics at New York University and Director of NYU’s Center for Conflict Resolution and Multilateral Cooperation, joins us to explore the core arguments of his influential book, Anticipating Instability: Assessing and Removing Risks Before They Happen. In this conversation, he explains how leaders can systematically identify emerging risks, quantify their impact, and design strategies to mitigate or eliminate them before they escalate into full-blown crises. Drawing on decades of research in political science, game theory, and international relations, Professor Bueno de Mesquita illustrates how data-driven models can make instability more predictable and, crucially, more manageable for decision-makers in government, business, and global institutions.
