Calculating Country Risk Observed by Betas

this is an interesting article and the author clearly has training in formal financial theory. I question her "country correlations" though. I find all world markets for the last year or more to be highly correlated (I would guess .9 or greater). If I believed this chart, I would invest in czech republic and I wouldn't get creamed when the u.s. markets go down. But for the last year all I see is everything moving together and no where to hide. I'm not offering any computed data to prove this, but this is what I observe.
