Does anyone have any experience in gaining a position in political risk consulting after earning an MBA? I've noticed that many top MBA programs have various specializations in Emerging Markets, etc., but the careers associated w/ this field seem quite broad (ranging from the World Bank to Int'l Sales at Multinational Corps). Would political risk consulting fall under this umbrella? I think it's a field that I'd like to pursue, but I don't want to waste my time with the applications/time/money if it isn't a viable option after graduation. Also, more generally, would this general track (EM) be considered an under-subscribed (or over-subscribed?) field for recent admissions cycles?

Seems to me that a poli sci degree might be more useful.

Domtri, thanks, and I think you might be right.
The interesting thing is, looking at the emerging markets page at NW:
(not sure if the link will work since i'm a new member: kellogg.northwestern.edu/student/club/emarkets/careers.htm)
It seems to me that applying to any of the careers linked from that page would be easier w/ an International Relations (or possibly Public Policy) professional degree. Of course, that's excluding the Private Equity jobs - though arguably, some IR degrees w/ emphasis on Int'l finance might be nearly as appropriate.
I'd like to hear others' opinions on opportunities for MBAs on the EM/Int'l scene... thanks.
