Emerging risk report: Political violence contagion - A framework for understanding the emergence and spread of civil unrest

Political violence contagion is emerging as a poorly understood but highly important dimension of political risk. Lloyd’s commissioned the Risk Advisory Group, a leading global risk management consultancy, to produce a report investigating the conditions which enable political violence to spread in this way.

The report – Political violence contagion: A framework for understanding the emergence and spread of civil unrest – is intended to stimulate further development of new approaches that could improve the identification and assessment of the ways in which outbreaks of violence can escalate into widespread “pandemics”.
