Country and Political Risk
2nd edition

No of pages: 379
First published:
ISBN: 9781782722175
This fully updated and revised second edition of Country and Political Risk expands upon the first edition, continuing to provide a fully comprehensive overview of the factors affecting global investment, including practical insights and research on assessing country risk and advice on how to manage a country risk portfolio.
Political and country risks have made for headline news in recent years, from Ukrainian political protests and sanctions on Russia to the catastrophic events occurring in the Middle East. This new edition focuses in particular on the new context within which these risks occur. Since the publication of the first edition, country risk events now take place in the advanced economies as well as emerging markets; equally significant is the fact that the regulatory scrutiny of country risk management practices has spread from banking to include insurance and, to a lesser extent, asset management.
