Global Risk Insights

We had the honour to speak with Gloria Steinem, the exceptionally influential feminist pioneer and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. Picture credit: Katie Lyman

"Described by a former speechwriter to President Obama as an “invaluable resource”, GRI was founded at the London School of Economics (LSE) by four then-graduate students seeking to revolutionize the political risk industry, and bring it to the 21st century. We saw an industry that fell short in providing a platform to give young, talented thinkers the opportunity to share their perspectives with the world, and advocate for a more free, equal and greener world. We truly believe that ideas matter. Our up-and-coming political scientists are in a unique position to challenge mainstream assumptions, identify overlooked risks and shed light on positive trends around the world. They are not constrained by tradition or expectations – they are free to be original in their analysis. This will only add value to a global audience that want to truly understand the world from all angles." Read more about our mission here: https://lnkd.in/g2bcUBb

“Global affairs are more complicated than ever and change faster than ever. This makes the work of Global Risk Insights an invaluable resource. Born at the LSE, it brings top level insights to political change, public policy, and business.” -Craig Calhoun, Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics (LSE) and former Director and President of the LSE.

“GRI is a terrific resource, filled with sharp and focused analysis of the problems that are regrettably dividing our world and paralyzing effective policy.” – Harold James, Claude and Lore Kelly Professor in European Studies & Professor of History and International Affairs at Princeton University.

Happy International Women’s Day! Sharing our interview with Gloria Steinem, a feminist pioneer and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. A remarkable life of activism. Inspires us and so many around the world to keep fighting for gender equality, no matter the obstacles. 

This picture was taken while the four co-founders were completing their Master's degrees at the London School of Economics (LSE) in 2013. It was during this time that they launched Global Risk Insights, which has since been described by a former speechwriter to President Obama as an "invaluable resource". GRI was launched to provide young leaders with a platform to share their perspectives, advocate for a freerer and more just world and help prepare them for a life of public service. Nearly 11 years on, GRI has become a leading platform with over 800 young writers and our research cited by The Economist, The Financial Times, Reuters, BBC, among others. Read GRI. Know Your World.
