Matthew Taylor, Evaluating Political Risk

The contemporary world faces a unique combination of interconnectedness with increasing levels of geopolitical uncertainty and political risk. The need for models and methods with which to evaluate uncertainty and risk has never been greater. SIS Professor Matthew Taylor's new textbook, Evaluating Political Risk: Modes of Thinking and Models of Analysis, provides a systematic analytical toolkit, presenting methods and models grounded in insights from psychology, public policy, political science, economics, and history.

Evaluating Political Risk teaches readers to systematize their reasoning and apply analytical tools responsibly. The progressive chapter structure moves from foundational concepts of risk and uncertainty through increasingly sophisticated analytical models, developing cumulative competence. Each chapter pairs a specific method or model with applied illustrations, drawn from around the world.

Written for advanced undergraduates, graduate students in international relations, political science, and business, as well as working professionals, Evaluating Political Risk delivers the analytical toolkit needed to reason through political risk and uncertainty with discipline and analytical rigor.
