About London Politica

London Politica is a Geopolitical Risk Advisory and Think Tank. We provide bespoke political risk analysis and actionable intelligence to help governments, humanitarian organisations, NGOs, and related stakeholders navigate increasingly volatile and contested political environments. We have worked with a range of organisations at the cutting edge of social impact, including: 

  • United Nations World Food Programme

  • International Chamber of Commerce

  • International Committee of the Red Cross 

  • Global Citizen

  • UK Police 

  • Confederation of Indian Industry

  • Pakistan Britain Business Council 

London Politica also publishes analysis and insight on emerging and prominent trends in political, geopolitical, economic, and security through our 12 Research Programmes, as well as the London Politica Podcast, which features industry thought leaders, and influential policymakers. This enables us to provide comprehensive and thorough analysis on global political risks for our stakeholders and public audiences.  

Research Department

Being part of London Politica’s Research Department means working to provide actionable analysis and real thought leadership direct to stakeholders and the general public as part of a spatially distant, but tightly integrated multinational team. It means being comfortable in a dynamic but demanding role where you are expected to keep your finger on the global geopolitical pulse, while staying one step ahead of the geopolitics of your specialist area.

Our public and stakeholder output is driven by our 12 regional or thematic-based Research Programmes. Through them we provide comprehensive, insightful, and accessible analysis in a variety of written and media formats independently or as as part of wider cross-programme or external collaborations.
