For this discussion please read the following two articles from the financial times related to the changing political risk profiles of the US, the UK, and other western 'developed countries." In a short video discussion post take the role of a political risk consultant and share your predictions as to the future risk profiles of either the US, the UK, or western Europe. From the articles we can see why observers are concerned about political risks today. I want you to explain what you think the risk situation will be three to five years from now. The risk level may go up, may come down, or may stay about the same, but the risk factors will probably change in some WAYS. There is clearly no 'right' answer (unless you really can soo the future), but your discussion must be plausible and grounded in an understanding of the current reality. So, if you say that risks will decline, you will need to explain what will cause that to occur. Financial Times Articles: Political risk in developed countries. Political risk in the United States
