This book applies a new political risk model, which can be used for any industry sector in any country, providing a quantitized assessment of the risks for investment in international business environments. It is the reprint of a report originally produced privately in May 2002 to evaluate the political risk of investing in the biotechnology sector in Germany. It has now been released to the public in an effort to further the use of political risk models and to facilitate international business. It is not intended for the casual user but rather as an example of political risk modeling.
