Expansion or Exodus: Why Do Russian Corporations Invest Abroad? - Why Do Russian Corporations Invest Abroad? (Hardcover)

Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, tremendous changes have taken place in the Russian Federation's trade relationship with other countries--especially with former allies. Expansion or Exodus examines how and why Russian corporations invest outside the country and why most of that money remains abroad as the growth and performance of these companies increases at an accelerated rate. As the Federation moves closer to joining the World Trade Organization, this timely book provides a global view of Russia's outward expansion, exploring the operations of Russian firms in old, new, and forthcoming European Union member states.
