familiarize yourself with the seven key elements of a political risk study:

• Background factors.
• Key political individuals, groups, and institutions.
• Regimes most likely to be in power.
• Nature and magnitude of potential political turmoil.
• Forecast the likelihood of changes in government restrictions on international business.
• Likelihood that the government will significantly change import restrictions.

After reviewing the seven key elements of a political risk study found above, choose a city/country that has hosted a major INTERNATIONAL sporting event such as the Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics, FIFA World Cup, or other major INTERNATIONAL sporting event. Examples might include: Tokyo hosting the Olympics in 2020, Qatar hosting the World Cup in 2022, Atlanta hosting the Summer Olympics in 1996, the 2026 World Cup partly being hosted in the U.S., or a mega sporting event closer to home. The city/country and year (past or future) is up to you. Then, discuss the event based on the seven elements above.
