چکیده
This paper seeks to develop a research proposal in the field of political risk assessment (PRA) in the context of the “Visegrad Four” countries. A literature review – both theoretical and empirical – is presented; based on which the research framework is developed. Previous studies are concerned mostly with PRA in the context of developed countries, and those in the context of transition and emerging economies have been concerned mainly with inward investment; this study will fill the gap in literature by investigating the practices of PRA and its institutionalisation within and between the “Visegrad Four” countries.

متن کاملPolitical Risk, Political Capabilities and International Investment Strategy: Evidence from the Power Generation Industry
In this paper, I examine the effect of political risk on the international expansion strategies of firms in a single industry, electric power generation.
