Political Risk [EPUB ebook] 
Facing the Threat of Global Insecurity in the Twenty-First Century

Political risk – the probability that a political action could significantly affect an organisation – is changing fast, and it’s more widespread than ever before.In the past, the chief concern used to be whether a foreign dictator would nationalise the country’s oil industry. Today, political risk stems from a widening array of agents, from Twitter users and terrorists to hackers and insurgents. What’s more, the very institutions and laws that are supposed to reduce uncertainty and risk often increase it instead. This means that in today’s globalised world there are no ’safe’ bets. Political risk affects companies and organisations of all sizes, operating everywhere from London to Lahore, even if they don’t know it.Political Risk investigates and analyses this shifting landscape, suggests what businesses can do to navigate it, and explains how all of us can better understand these rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics.
