Country risk is a broad concept that comprises an underlying combination of economics, finance, geopolitics, sociology, and history issues. As the new global economy raises the level of uncertainty and complexity for the international firm’s cross-border strategy, country risk analysis has become today an essential component of strategy decisions regarding export, investment, partnership, mergers, as well as take-overs.

The course aims at providing students with a solid understanding of the concepts, historical perspectives, theoretical debates and methodologies surrounding country risk assessment in the global economic system. Risk analysis and forecasting will be approached as management tools.

The course is to be composed of lectures, case studies, briefings by group mates, and debates with country risk experts. At the end of the three-month course, the students will be expected to gauge the risks and opportunities of financial globalization regarding emerging markets.
