On the Launch of Countryrisk.com
[printer-friendly version]
Country risk analysis. The science and art of reducing a country, in all its complexity, to a single judgment: will this country achieve stability?
Welcome to Countryrisk.com, an online magazine dedicated to country analysis. Here you will find weekly editorials on countries making headlines, a guide to the web's best country analysis resources, and reviews -- both editorial and contributed by users -- of the globe's most prominent country and political risk analysis companies.
Think of us as your first resource when -- as is increasingly common in this turbulent, globalized age -- events require you to understand a distant country, the forces that drive it, and its likely future. Our Guide will direct you to resources for background information, statistics, and ratings of everything from levels of corruption to investment risks in countries worldwide. Our Reviews will allow you to call on expert country and political risk consultants, confident you have made the right choice. And our Editorials will keep you abreast, from week to week, of the underlying forces driving the countries that are making the news.
More than anything, think of us as an opinionated guide. In this world of information overload, we will provide not just another map, but also directions. May you have fair winds and following seas...
