Henisz (management, the Wharton School, U. of Pennsylvania) offers a model of political and regulatory risk assessment for companies investing in the developing world. He argues that most of the problems with conventional political risk measures ultimately stem from their lack of focus on the political systems that they measure. He proposes the adoption of a measure that examines the feasibility of policy change. He tests the theoretical predictions offered by his measure by examining the use of local partners as a political risk mitigation mechanism. Annotation c.
