Political risk was first introduced as a component for assessing risk not directly linked to economic factors following the flow of capital from the US to Europe after the Second World War. However, the concept has rapidly gained relevance since, with both public and private institutions developing complex methodologies designed to evaluate political risk factors and keep pace with the internationalization of trade and investment. Continued global and regional economic and political instability means a plethora of different actors today conduct a diverse range of political risk analyses and assessments. Starting from the epistemological foundations of political risk, this books bridges the gap between theory and practice, exploring operationalization and measurement issues with the support of an empirical case study on the Arab uprisings, discussing the role of expert judgment in political forecasting, and highlighting the main challenges and opportunities political risk analysts face in the wake of the digital revolution.

La prima e insuperata indagine storica del lato più oscuro del Ventennio: la delazione anonima, odioso strumento nelle mani di Mussolini per controllare la vita degli italiani. È il 1923 quando l’ex socialista Benito Mussolini, alla guida da pochi mesi del governo di coalizione, pone con una breve nota il primo mattone di un autentico mostro politico-burocratico che, con i suoi tentacoli intinti nel veleno di intercettazioni, delazioni e soffiate, stritolerà la vita pubblica italiana fino alla fine del regime fascista: “Caro Finzi, dispongo che le intercettazioni telefoniche siano d’ora innanzi recapitate solamente a me. Una copia sola, quindi, che tu riceverai e mi trasmetterai”....
Vita d’un direttore di museo scritta da lui medesimo è il titolo di uno scartafaccio che il curatore di questo libro, Raimondo Zucca (già Ispettore archeologo della Soprintendenza archeologica di Cagliari e Oristano, ed ora professore di Storia e Archeologia del Mediterraneo antico dell’Università di Sassari e Direttore del Museo di Oristano) dichiara di aver acquistato misteriosamente in un marché aux pouces di una Cagliari solare di tanti anni orsono. È la storia del direttore ottocentesco del Museo di Antichità dell’Università di Cagliari, Gaetano Cara, invischiato in accuse di traffici illegali di reperti archeologici, scavati con il danaro del Regno di Sardegna, e di falsif...
