Moisés Naím is best known for diagnosing why power no longer behaves the way leaders expect it to. A former minister, editor, and global public intellectual, Naím examines how authority is fragmenting across governments, corporations, institutions, and societies, and why influence today is harder to acquire, easier to lose, and increasingly contested.

His work shows how globalisation, technology, corruption, migration, and organised crime have weakened traditional centres of control while empowering smaller, faster, and less predictable actors. Rather than describing a world in crisis, Naím explains a world in transition, where old hierarchies erode faster than new ones stabilise.

For leaders navigating volatility, his insight reveals why policy fails, institutions stall, and global coordination breaks down, not because of incompetence, but because the nature of power itself has changed.
