Geopolitical Risk, Sustainability and “Cross-Border Spillovers” in Emerging Markets, Volume I

Economic recessions, environmental damage in several large countries (eg. China, Brazil, U.S., etc.), the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2015, the COVID-19 Pandemic, cross-border spillovers and the failures of risk-regulation/government-stimulus programs (enacted during 2007-2020) have significantly affected economic systems, financial markets, social networks and environmental compliance worldwide, especially in emerging markets. The foregoing raises significant economic psychology and policy-making questions about the causes and measurement of cross-border spillovers (from developed countries to emerging markets), and evolving relationships among cross-border spillovers, legal/regulatory institutions, foreign aid, political systems, government size, social-welfare, fintech-platforms, asset-market dynamics (volatility, market-depth, liquidity, pension/retirement, remittances, business/consumer confidence; etc.) and sustainable growth. This book is the first of two volumes, re-defines geopolitical risk and addresses these issues in the context of the role of constitutional economics and economic psychology (especially households and companies) as tools for global sustainable growth and risk management. This book can help researchers develop better Artificial Intelligence, Complex Systems and decision-theory models of geopolitical risk, public policy, asset-pricing, global corporate strategy and international capital flows, all of which are increasingly relevant to investment managers, corporate executives, boards-of-directors and government officials.
