How instability and conflict affect individuals, and resilience strategies that are low-regret.

Political and geopolitical risk

Geopolitical risk includes instability, conflict, sanctions, capital controls, cyber disruption, and supply-chain shocks. Most individuals experience it indirectly: prices, availability, travel constraints, and safety changes.

How to think about it

Exposure

  • Where you live or travel
  • Sector and employer dependence
  • Single-country banking or assets

Resilience

  • Emergency cash and documents
  • Diversified income and assets
  • Communication and evacuation plans
Personal risk management

Focus on what you control: information quality, contingency planning, diversification, and avoiding unnecessary exposure.
