As Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat reveal in this innovative book, volatile political        events such as the 2008 Georgia-Russia confrontation--and their catastrophic effects        on business--happen much more frequently than investors imagine. On the curve that        charts both the frequency of these events and the power of their impact, the "e;tail"e;        of extreme political instability is not reassuringly thin but dangerously        fat.Featuring a new Foreward that accounts for the cataclysmic effects of the 2008        financial crisis, The Fat Tail is the first book to both identify the wide range of        political risks that global firms face and show investors how to effectively manage        them. Written by two of the world's leading figures in political risk management, it        reveals that while the world remains exceedingly risky for businesses, it is by no        means incomprehensible. Political risk is unpredictable, but it is easier to analyze        and manage than most people think. Applying the lessons of world history, Bremmer        and Keat survey a vast range of contemporary risky situations, from stable markets        like the United States or Japan, where politically driven regulation can still        dramatically effect business, to more precarious places like Iran, China, Russia,        Turkey, Mexico, and Nigeria, where private property is less secure and energy        politics sparks constant volatility. The book sheds light on a wide array of        political risks--risks that stem from great power rivalries, terrorist groups,        government takeover of private property, weak leaders and internal strife, and even        the "e;black swans"e; that defy prediction. But more importantly, the authors provide a        wealth of unique methods, tools, and concepts to help corporations, money managers,        and policy makers understand political risk, showing when and how political risk        analysis works--and when it does not."e;The Fat Tail delivers practical wisdom on the        impact of political risk on firms of every description and valuable advice on how to        use it. Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat offer innovative thinking and useful insight        that will help business decision-makers find fresh answers to questions they may not        yet know they have."e;--Fareed Zakaria, best-selling author of The Post-American        World"e;Political risk has become increasingly complex, and The Fat Tail provides a        truly new way to quantitatively assess it in established and emerging markets. It is        essential reading for any CEO with multinational interests."e;--Randall Stephenson,        Chairman, CEO and President, AT&T Inc."e;Should be essential reading for        anyone involved in international business even--perhaps especially--in places that        seem politically stable."e;--Bill Emmott, former editor-in-chief of The        Economist
