I am sending this piece from an excellent European Think tank. I have  
worked closely with them for several years. It was started by Tony  
Blair and David Miliband was the first Director.

Much like the CFIUS debate that swirled around the Chinese bid to  
purchase Unocal over Chevron's bid the discussion in Europe is focused  
on SWF from non-democratic countries . This piece describes one of the  
many political risks faced by SWF and Sovereign investors. It might be  
useful to think about and discuss in a small grouper.
