Measuring Political Risk: Risks To Foreign Investment

Brink (University of Stellenbosch, South Africa) presents a generic, adaptable model for political risk analysis that will serve foreign and domestic investors and offer lending governments a comprehensive profile of borrowing governments. The model measures political, economic, socio-economic, societal, and environmental factors as political risk factors of great significance when making decisions regarding foreign investment. The model can also be used by donor agencies, NGOs, and multinational companies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
