Abstract: Foreign direct investment has always been an important concern for international organizations and for governments as well. Despite the failure of various structural adjustment and development aid programs, foreign capital is still a key element in the success of several development programs. Unfortunately, during the last decade, the level of foreign direct investments has not increased that much in several developing countries due to, among others, country risks. The concept of country risk has itself changed. Unfortunately, the tools used in general to evaluate and to manage this risk have not followed the same pace. The objective of this study is to analyze the management tools of country risk in developing countries in order to suggest a more realistic model.
