I haven’t posted here in a while, but fret not, I am seriously thinking of resurrecting my blogging endeavours and write a bit more regularly about work-related issues I face each day, so less with a Central Asia, more with a global emerging market focus.

I’ve been travelling a lot lately and will continue in that fashion this coming weekend, when I’ll set off for a trip to Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. And that all in two weeks with a packed meeting agenda. I hope to have at least some time in Santiago, Rio and Buenos Aires, but the other places, Brasilia, Sao Paulo and Montevideo will be rush-in, rush-out.

I’m flying over to ascertain political risk stuff – especially election-related (Chile in December, Brazil 2010, Argentina 2011 and Uruguay soon in the run-off to Sunday’s poll). Perhaps I’ll kick off a new EM political risk blog with a blog post about the trip.
