Gideon Rachman is chief foreign affairs commentator for the Financial Times.
He writes a weekly column on international politics, as well as an FT blog. He has reported for the FT from all over the world. Before joining the FT in 2006, he worked for The Economist for 15 years in a range of jobs, including as a foreign correspondent in Brussels, Bangkok and Washington and as business editor.
His book Zero-Sum World, about the future of international relations was published in the UK in late 2010. It was published under the title, "Zero-Sum Future" in the US in February 2011. The New York Times called it "perhaps the best one-volume account now available of the huge post-communist spread of personal freedom and economic prosperity." The Independent called it "an important timely book that should be obligatory reading for all interested in what is happening beyond our shores."
Rachman was named as foreign-affairs commentator of the year in the UK Comment Awards for 2010.
He has also written for numerous other publications, including Foreign Policy, the Washington Quarterly and Prospect magazines. He is a regular broadcaster for – amongst others – the BBC and NPR.
Rachman is also a regular public speaker before both academic and business audiences. He has spoken to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, the Brookings Institution, the London School of Economics and the Royal Institute of International Affairs – as well as Pictet Bank, BBL Bank, Euroclear and many other business audiences.
Mr Rachman is a graduate in history from Caius College, Cambridge and has been a visiting fellow at Princeton University. He is married with four children.
