The 2024 Geopolitical Reading List
2023 has seen another year of shocking events, continuing what seems to be an accelerating trend of global instability. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has now been joined by renewed war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Israel and Palestine, and a series of coups across Africa. All of these have had dramatic consequences across the globe against a backdrop of energy and economic crises, which creates negative feedback loops of instability (as we have explored recently in Egypt’s case).

How to ensure the best travel security for SMEs - SME Magazine
Overseas travel is integral to modern business, but sending staff overseas can bring security and liability concerns if not managed correctly. While large companies often have internal corporate security teams to manage travel risks, this comes at a cost that can be prohibitively high for SMEs, despite all business being equally vulnerable. Often, line managers or HR staff are asked to sign off on travel, accepting liability in an area where they lack training and resources.
