Klappentext

The book focuses on problems of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) in modern Ukraine. The main question
asked is: Has Ukraine managed to create attractive
legal environment for FDI? The analysis of the
national Ukrainian legal framework is made through
its comparison with the legislation of Germany. The
results of the research show that the Ukrainian
investment legislation is overloaded with definitions
and artificial restrictions for foreign investors
which is an obstacle to achieve balance between the
national interests and the attractiveness of the
country for FDI. As well, the comparative study of
the two countries demonstrates the efficiency of the
German investment promotion institution and the
necessity for Ukraine to reform existing national
investment promotion institutions into a single one.
The book contains recommendations as to the
reforms of the Ukrainian dispute resolution system
which are necessary to convince potential foreign
investors that in case of any dispute they can rely
on the effective legal protection.
