What is Political Risk

Every business and industry is affected by changes in the world’s political landscape. One small event can trigger massive layoffs and closed doors across the global economy. The evaluation and analysis of these events is called Political Risk Analysis.

With Political Risk Analysis we research and review global events that can impact your business. This rapidly growing industry goes by many names: Geopolitical Risk Intelligence, International Security Risk, Sociopolitical Research, Due Diligence and more. However, they all perform the same function: providing your business with accurate, up to date information on world affairs.
