With some key players on the world stage
running for re-election, we could see a major
shift in political dynamics. Americans and the
French will grapple over the best way forward
for their economies as Barack Obama and
Nicolas Sarkozy fight to stay in power. Hugo

and in March Russians will weigh in on
Vladimir Putin. Replacing any—or all—of
these incumbents could reset world diplomacy,
putting policy making on the back burner just
as it’s needed most.
