Political Risk at the Interface of Civilizations: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates

摘要

Political risk is the probability that an investor or investors will lose money due to factors in a society, a government, or its international environment. Risk will vary according to the theory applied to projection and measurement (assessment). Risk also varies at different investor levels, i.e. for all foreign investors, for a particular industry, for a particular firm, or for a specific project. (Howell, 2001b, p. 4)
