Global Political Risk

Global specialty chemicals companies already operate plants in many different countries and have the expertise to navigate in the respective business environments. Therefore, typically political risks are not incorporated into quantitative models but considered when selecting the potential investment candidate countries. If desired, the model can be extended to include political risk based on an aggregate risk parameter to analyze risk/return profiles for alternative network configurations. For a more detailed discussion of the major elements of political risk see Appendix 3. [Pg.88]

In the design of a global production network for a specific value chain additional risk stems from factors such as exchange rate exposure or political risks associated with international investments. Following the differen-... [Pg.202]

External sources of risk can be caused by many factors. External factors resulting in vulnerability can include global, political, and societal trends, as well as hazards from natural disasters, terrorism, cybercrime, pandemics, transnational crime, and human-caused accidents. It is the role of the safety manager to think critically and recognize all the potentials for loss. [Pg.63]

Conversely, Christoplos (2006) has argued that although scientifically credible, disaster risk reduction initiatives can be incompatible with local and global political imperatives after disasters. Informing the humanitarian focus on addressing acute human suffering, these political drivers also inform the immediate priorities for local politicians, donors and disaster affected people, who need to get people out of tents and into houses and off food aid and into jobs (Christoplos 2006). In addition, he noted that the 2004 tsunami decimated many of the local... [Pg.1307]

The consensus of scientists with expertise in climate and weather issues appears to he that global warming is of sufficient concern to demand some form of political action. They argue that it is more prudent to act now to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and reduce the risk of global warming than to... [Pg.91]

Economics and politics also intersected in Whitehall s perception in 1956 of the Soviet Union as a threat to Britain s share of international trade. In May of that year, when arguing that Britain could not afford a policy of perfection in defence, Eden noted that there was evidence that the Russians intended to concentrate on industrial exports. In order to be able to meet this competition, part of the burden placed on British industry by defence orders must be reduced, so as to release resources for civil production. In present circumstances, he said, economic failure was a more serious risk than global war, and defence plans had to be adjusted to this revised political assessment. He added that a recent report from the ambassador in Washington showed that President Eisenhower was thinking along the same lines.The Russians made no secret of their intentions. In November 1957 Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader, declared in a visit to the United States in the peaceful field of trade we declare a war. The threat to the United States is not in the intercontinental ballistic missile but in the field of peaceful production. We are relentless in this and will prove the superiority of our system. ... [Pg.299]

But many challenges remain as the world contemplates continued population and economic growth, new risks of unintended consequences from technological developments such as bioengineering, and a tendency for decisions to be shaped by narrow economic and political interests. Unless an environmental ethic becomes widespread, it is likely that global environmental change will remain a pressing concern for both society and science. [Pg.1256]

The global scope of the risk society, its self-reflective quality and its pervasiveness create a new backdrop for standard moral panics. Perceptions of heightened risk evoke images of panic. And in populist and electoral rhetoric about such issues as fear of crime, urban insecurity and victimization, the concepts of risk and panic are naturally connected. The realm of political morality, however, is just about distinctive enough for the BSE ( mad cow disease ) or foot and mouth disease panics not to be moral panics. Only if risk analysis becomes perceived as primarily moral rather... [Pg.314]
