What are the main factors to consider in assessing the dominant political climate in a country?
Answers
Radical shifts in government philosophy, pressure from nationalist and self-interest groups, weakened economic conditions, bias against foreign investment or conflicts between governments are all issues that can affect the stability of a government.Foreign business sometimes fear when governments change political party because they are concerned about the continuity of the set of rules or code of behavior and the continuation of the rule of law, regardless of which government is in power.When there are dominant political party/parties, it may become a foreign corporation concern because the party can alter prevailing attitudes.When there is nationalism, which means there is a sense of pride in one’s own country. This pride can take an anti-foreign business bias, and minor harassment and controls of foreign investment.
