| Title | Foreign Direct Investment in Ukraine and Germany - a Comparative Study |
| Summary | This thesis focuses on the 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. With regard to the company law being the central category for FDI, this thesis identifies the necessity to eliminate contradictions between the existing Ukrainian laws and the possibility to follow the German model of regulating limited liability companies and stock corporations with some limitations. 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 thesis also makes 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. |
