Do we understand how internationally active firms perceive and strategize around geopolitical risks??Prof. Simon J. Evenett explores this question through interviews with senior executives from 13 globally engaged businesses across various manufacturing and service sectors, headquartered in China, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. I feature this novel survey in my blog ?? #geopolitics #trade #tradepolicy

I hold the deepest respect for Prof. Sachs, a man who consistently champions peace and humanity. His integrity, courage, and intelligence are legendary. The key difference between Jeffrey and John on China lies in their perspectives: one has regularly visited China, while the other views it through the lens of a U.S.-centric mindset. We teach culture implications for international businesses, and we have seen how multinational companies fail abroad by applying home-grown strategies that don't account for local cultures and realities. In a world where the media spreads biases and misinformation about China, the best approach is to see China for yourself. It’s safe, green, it has modern infrastructure, welcoming people, delicious food and cutting-edge technology. China is changing rapidly. Those who haven’t visited in the past three years will notice a cleaner, greener, and more convenient environment. People who visited China return with a transformed view. At the core, people are people—regardless of culture, we all share the same pursuit of peace, love, and a fulfilling life, not war.

With several recent government changes in Latin America, it is good to read geopolitical consultants Brennan & Partners’ well informed overview of what this means to investors in the region.

In Russia, Putinism will also survive its namesake. I've talked to Sylvia Walter, of the leading Swiss publication Finanz und Wirtschaft News: “The world is on the verge of a paradigm shift that will bring with it a decade of upheaval." This is my main thesis, and risks should not be understood as disjointed and individual trouble spots. Among many other venues, the #USElections in November are causing major headaches for investors and companies. The stakes for the future of democracy are extremely high.

Another Chinese #overcapacity scare is turning out to be the hottest #tradepolicy issue of 2024. I've been looking for a substantial briefing to share with my network on this issue and the Rhodium Group has delivered! Bravo! I am sharing the document below without any endorsement. My network is smart enough to see where this narrative departs from the data presented. Still, like all scares, not everything written is wrong. An excellent test of our critical reasoning skills. Hint: focus on the alleged theory of harm, on the timing, and on the relevant benchmarks. Happy Easter to all!
