Can a country take out financial insurance against macro-risks?

Countries vulnerable to external shocks.


Many countries are vulnerable to external shocks such as a spike in oil prices, a drop in a competitor's currency or a collapse in world-wide tourism following a terrorist attack somewhere else. Can governments hedge their economies against these risks using financial instruments in the same way that a home-owner insures against a flood? How would they do it and should they do it?
