2016 has witnessed civil disturbances, domestic political crises, and extremist violence that has altered the political agenda in advanced economies and emerging markets alike.

• The range of recent incidents — and how fundamental trends may shape the future risk environment.
• Challenges for companies, especially those with complex international footprints or supply chains.
•  Key initiatives for enhancing anticipation and ensuring effective response.
