CAREER SEMINAR: Careers in Political Risk Analysis
Political risk is a type of risk faced by investors, corporations, and governments that political decisions, events, or conditions will significantly affect the profitability of a business actor or the policy decision of a government. Political risk can be understood and managed with reasoned foresight, investment, deployment of resources, or key decision making. Political risk faced by businesses can be defined as “the risk of a strategic, financial, or personnel loss because of market or nonmarket factors as macroeconomic and social policies (fiscal, monetary, trade, investment, industrial, income, labour, and developmental), or events related to political instability (terrorism, riots, coups, civil war, and insurrection). For governments, political risk focuses on their ability to execute diplomatic, military or other initiatives as a result of political risk. Analyzing political risks in emerging and developed economies with a wide range of political institutions/governments is a major part of this work. This career seminar will focus on the work, positions and the agencies, organizations, and companies who are doing work in this field.
