What is it?

The Two Lanterns Political Risk Academy is an online course built from experience teaching workshops on political analysis at the Department of Defense, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, business schools, and hedge funds.

We are now opening up this knowledge to anyone with an internet connection and a willingness to learn.

The Academy includes seven hours of video lectures, supplementary information (like a scenario planning template), and four live sessions so we can walk you through the topics with the chance for you to ask as many questions as you’d like.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants to be better at analyzing political risk - which in this course are any political, social, or economic events that would affect your work. Whether you’re a legislative staffer who needs to know whether a press conference means your bill is doomed or a financial analyst who is wondering whether a coup halfway around the world will affect your portfolio, this helps you understand and anticipate changes in your operating environment.
