Political risk is defined as the cost of possible political events, multiplied by their respective probabilities. Examples include political risk from war, terrorism, extortion, riots, public opinion, trade unions, and unexpected government laws or actions with respect to regulations, taxes, corruption, protectionism, embargoes, trade restrictions, profit repatriation, price controls, currency convertibility, expropriation, nationalization, and human rights. Political opportunity is also of interest, and includes any benefits or positive trends on these and other political factors. Political risk includes, but is not limited to, the concepts of sovereign and country risk.
