- Summary:
- International Political Risk Management, Volume III: Looking to the Future is the latest in a series based on the MIGA-Georgetown University Symposium on International Political Risk Management. Volumes in this series offer leading-edge assessments of needs and capabilities in the international political risk insurance industry. These assessments come from a dozen experts in the fields of international investment, finance, insurance, and academe.
- Contributors to this volume consider the latest developments and technical innovations in the political risk insurance (PRI) industry. The volume leads off by examining the lessons that can be learned from recent investment losses, insurance claims, and arbitrations. It then turns to consider what the future may hold for coverage of project finance projects in emerging markets as well as recent public-private collaboration trends in the issuance of political risk insurance. It concludes by reconsidering both old and new political risk insurance products that seek to expand the tools that international investors can utilize to mitigate political risk abroad.
- An in-depth analysis of international political risk management from the front lines of the industry, the International Political Risk Management series offers a valuable guide to those who are considering private sector investments and privatizations in the developing world, whether as equity sponsors, lenders, or insurers. It should also be of interest to independent analysts and scholars working in the field of political risk management.
