Eurasia Group is the world's largest political risk consultancy. Founded in 1998 by Ian Bremmer, it has offices in New York City, Washington, D.C., London, Tokyo, São Paulo, San Francisco, and Singapore with more than 150 full-time employees. The company also employs a network of 500 experts in 90 countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa — a profile The Economist magazine calls "an inspiration for any academic with a seemingly useless degree in political science".
Eurasia Group is generally recognized to be the first to systematically bring political science as a discipline to Wall Street. This approach includes the Eurasia Group Global Political Risk Index (GPRI), which is the first qualitative comparative political and economic risk index designed specifically to measure stability in emerging markets. Developed over a ten-year period by experts in transitional politics and economics, the methodology provides an "early warning" system which helps anticipate critical trends and provides a measure for country capacity to withstand political, economic, security, and social shocks. Eurasia Group services include analytic research publications, tailored consulting and advisory services, as well as direct access to Eurasia Group analysts who analyse and evaluate political trends and their impact on business, financial markets and the foreign investment climate. Eurasia Group's clients include major investment banks, institutional investors, government agencies, and multinational corporations in numerous sectors.
In January every year, Eurasia Group announces the Top 10 Risks for the coming year, along with notable red herrings (issues of general concern it does not think are substantial risks). Eurasia Group keeps the Top 10 Risks posted on its website for the remainder of the year.
