The Routledge Handbook of Political Risk

This handbook explores the context, analysis and management of political risk arising from recent tectonic geopolitical challenges to the world order posed by pandemics, nationalist policy interventions, changing supply chains, technological transformation, and a climate crisis.

Seasoned and emerging academics from the global north and south, alongside risk practitioners and business professionals from multiple continents and industries, reconsider and address policy-oriented questions in relation to social, political, democratic, environmental, economic, security, technological, and geopolitical challenges. Across 5 distinctive Parts, The Handbook of Political Risk considers ethical risks, populism, weaponized interdependence, protectionism, company case, industries, and political risk management, while also reconsidering the future of political risk.

The volume will appeal to scholars and students of international business and management studies, political science, area studies, security studies, geography, history, and sociology. In the absence of functioning global governance to mitigate such risks, it will also be of great use to a range of consultants, investors, business practitioners, and corporations.
