An inclusive treatment of political risk assessment aimed at a readership consisting of students of international business and executives of multinational firms concerned with this issue. Ting examines the sociopolitical foundations of the issue, approaches to political risk assessment found in the literature, micro-risk assessment associated with individual projects, forms of business macro-policy and exchange rates. The author also considers host-country investments, applications of risk-rating systems, and integration of political risk assessment into a risk-return calculus. Extremely clear, the book is more usable than earlier volumes. Choice
Ting argues that a preoccupation with catastrophic and revolutionary changes, such as those that occurred in Iran and Nicaragua, has skewed models of risk analysis away from the most significant and likely forms of political risk--legal, regulatory, and technocratic changes in the host country--toward the much rarer dramatic and cataclysmic event. He proposes instead a model based on a micro or project-specific analysis and demonstrates how to integrate this analysis and the information it generates into actual international planning and operational decisions abroad.
WENLEE TING is a member of the faculty of the American Graduate School of International Management in Glendale, Arizona.
