Political Risk. Wed. 16/09.

Como se não bastassem as aulas e tudo o que as acompanham: leituras, cases, trabalhos em grupo, apresentações, projetos, memorandos, op-eds, resumos, problemas and so on... A vida acadêmica é repleta de eventos e eventos e eventos.

Um deles, recém-saído do forno, uma conferência sobre risco político que estamos organizando. Quem estiver por perto, fica o convite.

Managing Political Risk: A Cross-Sector Conference on Political Risk Measurement and Mitigation

Conference Theme
Engendering cross-sector discussion on political risk mitigation techniques through moderated panels on corporate strategy, business intelligence, and timely political risks that face international investors, such as resource nationalism. A comprehensive conversation on political risk mitigation will also feature panels on investment and trade services that require political risk analysis, such as investment and trade finance, investment guarantees, and political risk insurance.

Summary
Political risk mitigation techniques have become strategic components to enterprise risk management as uncertainty surrounding government regulation, expropriation, currency inconvertibility, and political violence becomes more common in today’s volatile economic environment. This conference will create a platform to host industry leaders to discuss the most salient political risks to investments in the emerging markets. An interdisciplinary approach resonates with The Fletcher School’s strength in bridging academic and professional expertise in business, law, finance, conflict resolution and natural resource policy.

The Center for Emerging Market Enterprises and the Fletcher Political Risk Forum at The Fletcher School, Tufts University will provide a forum for the dissemination of ideas and best practices on political risk mitigation for business professionals and graduate students in business and international affairs from the Boston area. Attendees will include corporate risk managers, investment managers, financial and country analysts, underwriters, and academics, amongst others.
