'Dr Kuznetsov's analysis is insightful and important. His practical good judgement and interdisciplinary analysis is original and refreshing in an area stalemated by outdated orthodoxies. Any merchant banker thinking of investing in Russia should read this book. Boris Yeltsin's advisers, and the IMF, certainly should do so.' Stuart Holland As foreign capital is of particular importance for the delicate process of opening up the ex-Soviet economy, this volume focuses on the investment climate in modern Russia. It examines a wide range of experiences that the country has had during the early stage of economic reform. Most attention is given to revealing the trends lying behind the dynamics of political and policy risks facing foreign investment. Specifically, the duality of the government economic policy and the consequences of economic nationalism and regionalism are considered.weiterlesen
