The need for data driven analyses

 

There is a critical lack of high quality data driven analyses of geopolitical risk utilising quantitative methods, which means important insights may be missed when decisions are being formed.

  • Written opinions and analyses regarding geopolitics is common and less valuable.
  • Data driven analyses regarding geopolitics is uncommon and more valuable.

Uthenar specialises in data driven analyses regarding geopolitics and geopolitical risk.

Stability and risk

 

The Uthenar view of geopolitics focuses on understanding stability, instability, and associated risks, from and between countries on the global stage.

In comparison to what?

We don’t make conclusions from data in isolation. We always want to compare data with other data, such as compared to a time in the past, or to another category or location.

What are the geopolitical themes Uthenar focuses on?

  • Political and economic coercion and isolationism.
  • Aggressive State rhetoric.
  • Global news sentiment, across multiple languages.
  • The concerns of global populations.
  • Military, and non-military, hostility.
  • Global trade and sovereign macro-economic risk.
  • Actions against, and in proximity to, borders.
  • Monitoring of potential, and actual, armed conflict hot spots.

How do we analyse these themes?

  • We monitor and measure a curated selection of big (and small) data streams.
  • We compare the now with important historic thresholds because context is key.
  • We understand what is normal variation, and what is not.
  • We utilise appropriate statistical measures of particular data.
  • We develop and utilise ‘risk’ measures to understand the region, and globe.
  • We harness data visualisation best practices.
  • We routinely publish premium reporting lines to communicate our insights.
