Publisher's Synopsis
From domestic unrest to revolution, from trade embargoes to nationalization of industry, complex political and economic problems can pose potential difficulties for international corporations and banks who plan to establish bases in or deal with foreign countries. This book demonstrates how risk analysis can help the international business community understand and successfully avoid the dangers posed by foreign political climates. The book examines the factors that define a nation's political stability and economic integrity-questions of leadership succession, social mobility, popular support for a regime, corruption, ideology, military unrest, levels of inflation, debt service, and the stability of the currency.
