History[edit]

As a political risk advisory London Politica provides intelligence, analysis, and advice to businesses and institutions globally on how political decisions, events, or conditions might affect their profitably, security, or operations.^[7][8] According to its CEO, the firm also hopes to help democratise the political risk space by orientating its services primarily towards NGOs and charitable organisations who often lack political risk coverage due to its high cost, despite typically operating in politically tense or unstable zones.^[9]

In June 2021, London Politica entered into a research partnership with Arielle for Africa, an NGO specialising in social enterprise for African youth.^[10] It has also worked in partnership with Global Citizen (organization)|Global Citizen, Confederation of Indian Industry, HumanAid,^[11] and Pakistan Britain Business Council.^[12]

London Politica also produces a range of public facing content. This includes the ‘London Politica Podcast’, which covers emerging and prominent trends in political risk analysis, exploring developments in international relations, business, civic, and governmental arenas.^[13] The Podcast has featured Parag Khanna, Kerry Brown (historian)|Dr Kerry Brown, Richard Schmierer, and John Hulsman|Dr John Hulsman.^[14]
