Global Risk Outlook 2018 Volume 1 | Page 4

FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF WHAT IS THE NEW POLITICAL RISK? Welcome to GRI's take on some of the key risks - and opportunities - facing us in 2018. It's becoming a cliche to say that the world is changing  fast - but it's also a truth we can't ignore. What's happening in Iran on the cusp of the New Year is a case in point. As our societies and technologies inexorably evolve, so does the nature of risk. That's why GRI's approach to analysis is different. It's rooted in the concept of Political Risk for the 21st century : Connection, Innovation, Style, and Purpose.
