“It is common to hear that we are living in turbulent times: ones of anger and extremism.  It is much less common to hear what to do about it.  This book helps decision-makers move beyond the noise, arguing that they can be transformative even as private citizens. It pulls you away from ‘business as usual’ and empowers you to become an agent of change with the strategic tools necessary for success." 

—Greg Treverton, Former Chairman of the US National Intelligence Council

It teaches you how to:

·         Assess threats of political instability
