First, you have to diferentiate between agile as a discipline and methods or methodologies based on agile discipline. If your question is related to the last one then let me say that all method or methdologies based on agile are created around addressed risk and issues. On the other side, you can implement project risk management process you will find inside the PMI without any difference when you use agile method or methdologies. In fact, in methods like DSDM you will find a step in the life cycle to define and manage risk and issues.

I agree, I was looking on article or publication that would more specifically talk about risk in Agile context.

First of all, Agile comes in the picture to lower the risks of project failure and to avoid the waste creation. But still risk management is part in agile development. We can use the risk management during several instance e.g. Product planning, release planning and even during sprint planning as when team select the user story, they understand it from technical perspective but also from risk/uncertainty point of view and if they forsee any risk, they plan mitigation (task) as part of Definition of Done. Other aspect is daily stand up/scrum meeting is a strategy to ensure work is on track (burn down chart) and identify impediment and remove it.

Agree risk should be present in the early stage of a project.
