Charged with managing this perilous outlook is a crop of political leaders without strategies, who can't see further than the next crisis.

Businesses will need every ounce of courage, self-reliance and resilience to cope. The pace of events will be in the hands of twitchy protagonists. Business leaders must find strategies for an intensely tactical world.

"Global trends are now more set against the interests of international businesses than they have been for many years," comments Control Risks CEO, Nick Allan.

"Populism, activism, protectionism, sanctions and political disruption remain the canvas on to which business tries to build global markets and supply chains. It has not been easy in 2019 and it's going to get harder next year," Allan adds.
