Foreign Direct Investment in Kazakhstan Politico-legal Aspects of Post-Communist Transition

The collapse of the centrally planned systems of the former Soviet Union undoubtedly stands out as one of the most important global events of the 20th century. The transformation from a centralized economic system to a market system created major opportunities for Western corporations to enter markets that had formerly been closed to them. In this book, E.K.Dosmukhamedov employs a distinctive approach to the study of post-communist transition by analyzing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from a political, legal and economic standpoint. Kazakhstan is used as a case study to illustrate the role of FDI in restructuring the economy of the former Soviet Union countries in the Post-Communist era.
