In the World Leader Award Section of this week’s BGF Weekly, we proudly introduce insights and reflections from distinguished members of the BGF Board of Thinkers on prominent global leaders who have shaped peace, security, and democracy.
This section serves as a space where BGF leaders comment, evaluate, and analyze the legacies of world leaders, offering perspectives that enrich our understanding of their contributions to global affairs. Their reflections complement the values of the World Leader for Peace and Security Award and the World Leader in AIWS Award, which honor individuals whose leadership transforms the world for the better.
This week, we feature an illuminating reflection by Honorable Mark Kennedy, Member of the BGF Board of Thinkers and Director of the Wilson Center’s Wahba Institute for Strategic Competition, on the enduring legacy of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. In his article for The Hill, Mark Kennedy underscores why Abe’s vision, leadership, and commitment to democratic alliances in the Indo-Pacific are worthy of the highest recognition.
