Case Study

Improving Relations

The Client

An executive branch of a Middle-Eastern government.

The Issue

The government was looking to improve its capacity to engage with a range of partner countries. It required an in-depth understanding of the political and economic circumstances of each, and an independent assessment of current bilateral relationships.

The Approach

For each partner country, our country experts undertook a detailed analysis of the political and economic fundamentals and drivers, and their long-term outlook.

We then assessed the current bilateral relationship, identifying its major strengths and weaknesses. From this we created a vision for a mutually beneficial relationship, and an analysis of the obstacles to realising it.

Our experts and consultants then developed an implementation plan for achieving the desired relationship, including diplomacy, trade and investment links, formal agreements and cultural exchanges.

The Result

The government used the analysis as the platform for their external relations strategy and diplomatic engagement with its key partner countries.
