Full textAbstract:
This study of the American business presence in Russia from the late 19th Century to the early Soviet period, focuses on more than twenty individual firms that operated there or otherwise conducted business with Russia. They are presented as primary and secondary case studies in three distinct groups: financial industries, manufacturing industries, and sales, services and light manufacturing industries.The primary cases, American Express, Case and Vacuum Oil Company, offer a detailed insight into: motives for opening installations in Russia, daily operations, the effects of war, revolution and nationalization as well as business relations under the early Soviet government. The secondary case studies include, Citibank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Morgan Guaranty and New York Life Insurance Company in the financial group; Western Electric, Westinghouse Airbrake and General Electric in the manufacturing group; and United Shoe, Otis, Moline Plow, Kodak, Parke, Davis & Co., Chesebrough-Pond's and Continental Gin in the sales, services and light manufacturing group.
Collectively these firms present a comprehensive account of the largely neglected and misunderstood role of private American business in Russia. The experiences of these companies help dispel conventional notions of U.S. commercial interests in Russia and place American involvement in proper perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the determinants Chinese and Russian outward foreign direct investments during the years 2007 and 2008. We also intended to compare them and discuss the similarities and differences between the countries. We purposed three hypotheses, that Chinese and Russian OFDI are market-, strategic asset- and natural resource-seeking. Design/methodology/approach: We have employed a regression ordinary least squares model to identify the determinants of Chinese and Russian OFDI. We have used each countries official data that provided us with 80 countries receiving Russian OFDI and 149 countries receiving Chinese. The coefficients showed what kind of coherence there is between the hypotheses and the level of investment in different countries. Findings: The findings reveal that China´s OFDI are market-seeking but not strategic asset-seeking. The variables measuring natural resource-seeking did not attain any significance for China and none of the variables measuring market-, natural resource- and strategic asset-seeking attained any significance for Russia. Which gives us the impression that according to our results, the general theory cannot entirely explain Chinese and especially not Russian OFDI which is why we call for a special theory for these two countries. Keywords: Outward foreign direct investment, China, Russia, BRIC,

Full textAbstract:
Attempts by the international community to establish a comprehensive global framework for protection of foreign investment have not yet succeeded. The Russian Federation has remained aloof from these efforts. Its attention instead has been focused on the need to redesign its internal legal framework to accommodate the transition to a market economy.The first aim of this thesis is to identify the major policy issues that inform the multilateral investment protection debate and to identify the motives that have influenced Russia not to participate. The second aim is to provide an analysis of the progress that the Russian Federation has made in reforming its internal legal framework to better accommodate and protect foreign investment and identify the deficiencies that still have to be addressed.

Full textAbstract:
German-Russian relations are one of the most important economic topics discussed at present. The relations are strong thanks to a mutual and elaborate co-operation built on the power and importance of both countries. The goal of this thesis is to portray German-Russian mutual relations and find an answer to the question whether Germany is dependent on Russian energy supplies. The thesis has two main parts: the first is focused on a comparison of German and Russian economies, the second addresses trade relations. The comparison is based on macroeconomic indicators and culture in both countries, also showing the difference in business activities. Moreover, international trade in goods and services and foreign direct investment are discussed as well and are considered to be the key part of the thesis. Foreign direct investment is illustrated with particular instances and projects, followed by a chapter on the current anti-Russian sanctions. This chapter is rather extensive and therefore has its own interpretation. Finally, the thesis presents an overview of present bilateral agreements and contracts, including the organizations and institutions supporting the German-Russian co-operation.

Lander, Christopher David. "Foreign direct investment in the Russian agricultural sector." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2017. https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:8a5e811a-fdcc-4216-80ec-9aa0c140d129.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the experiences of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation. The focus is on the form of FDI, and how each investor responds, and adapts, to the Russian operational environment. This is achieved through extensive qualitative, and multiple methods research on three manifestations of FDI: corporate, privately-funded investment; corporate, publically-funded investment; and smaller, individual private investment. Of interest are the Russia-specific constraints that may be largely underprepared for by foreign investors, and unexpected events that occur in the Russian space that hamper the efforts of investors. This thesis, thus, informs the reader of the variable nature of the Russian agricultural sphere, and the problems that exist within its boundaries, and presents the stories of some of the foreign investors that have tried to penetrate its market, mostly since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The thesis consists of four papers that have either been published, or submitted for publication, in academic journals, and utilises fieldwork that was conducted between 2013 and 2014. This thesis finds that all of the foreign investors studied have experienced - in certain aspects - failure on the Russian frontier, though there have also been certain successes. It seems that financial success is dictated by the business model of each investor; those who are afforded longer time horizons, more time to adapt on the frontier, and a source of funds that does not place short-term pressure on the business, are more likely to succeed. The Russian operating environment is unique, peculiar, and unpredictable, with a tendency to produce substantial obstacles that, for investors, are difficult to overcome; for agricultural FDI to avoid these struggles, these environmental conditions need to be anticipated and prepared for, with clear strategies painstakingly thought through before any venture physically begins on Russian soil.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper a comparative exploration of the potential for foreign investment and real inflow to Russia and Ukraine are examined. The analysis showed that primarily both countries enjoyed significant comparative advantages in attracting foreign capital. Since the foundation of independent states in 1992 attractiveness began to diverge dramatically. This difference is clearly explained by the determination of the Russian government to reform the economy
earlier than the Ukrainian government. The transition to a market economy is closely connected with the development of a favorable investment climate in both countries. It includes the foundation of a stable system of property rights and a conducive legal environment.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis strives to explore and comprehend the propensity of the firms from a major EM country, namely Russia, to expand their operations and boundaries beyond the domestic market and transit of multinationality. The prime aim and motivation of the endearvoured investigation lies in embedding the FDI behaviour of Russian firms in a novel context of the evolution of state business relations and the dynamics of organisational genesis, observed in the Russian state over the turbulent years of the neo-liberal and catching-up reforms. To attain a better level of comprehension of the heterogeneous FDI behaviour of the EM firms than conventionally offered in the IB theories, the present study takes a different path and elaborates a framework that adequately conceptualises the novelties of the empirical context by drawing upon network economics and political science. The suggested comceptual framework relates the drastic shifts in relational powers amid the major forces in the Russian economy and co-evolving political and economic networks to the FDI behaviour of the Russian firms, and also disentagles the FDI outcomes across the novel organisational forms reconstucted or newly-emerging during the three distinct periods of the state-business relations, commonly overlooked amid IB studies. Besides rigorously testing the importance of conventional firm's attributes for the initial transition of the Russian firms to multnationality and the subsequent expansion of their networks of foreign subsidiaries, the developed tim-continuous FDI transtion models disentangle the relational mechanisms of domination and influence within the hybrid intra-state networks founded by Russian firms.

Full textAbstract:
This Master Thesis examines cooperation between Russia and the Czech Republic in the spheres of foreign trade and investment relations. The analyzed period is primarily over the last decade with the concentration on the current trends. The analysis is carried out through evaluation of present level of trade volumes and investment flows between countries, search of obstacles and incentives for mutual cooperation in these areas, countries' governmental and other sources of support, etc. The Thesis considers trade and investment perspectives for relation development and mutual cooperation between Russia and the Czech Republic as well. One of the study's purposes was to provide recommendations for improvement of the business environment in Russia and making its national economy attractive for foreign capital. The study shows that, even though the share of the Czech Republic in the total trade volume between the EU and other non-EU member states makes up about 1%, the trade volumes in relations between this country and Russia remain significant. The largest category of Czech exports to Russia are machines and means of transport; Russian exports to the Czech Republic are energetic commodities, raw materials and mineral oil. As a matter of fact Russia's economic growth in later years has largely been driven by its energy exports. The country's dependency on energy sector demands structural changes in the national economy, modernization is critical for its long-term economic growth. The analysis emphasizes that Russia should adopt experience of the Czech Republic, as a highly industrialized country, use Czech innovative technologies and equipment, enter into joint projects with the Czech Republic, and so on in order to ensure future growth in today's competitive world. This is necessary especially in the light of the fact that Russia close to gaining membership to WTO, which can potentially facilitate trade and investment flows between the country and the EU, including the Czech Republic.

Thesis, Stockholm University, School of Business, 2005. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-6099.
Full textAbstract:
After years of a communistic system with a closed economy, Russia has become a very attractive market with high potential for foreign direct investment, however, it is a risky investment destination. Market conditions are changing rapidly in Russia, it is important for any potential newcomer to have relevant, up-to-date information on the investment environment and potential problems which may face in the new market. The investment climate in Russia is continuously assessed and evaluated by various authorities in different countries. These repeated evaluations may help to identify new problems, as well as solve existing ones; therefore, we considered our thesis to be of interest for both existing companies and potential newcomers into the Russian market. The objective of this thesis is to define and describe the existing problems and difficulties that Swedish direct investors come across when investing into the Russian market. We aim to illustrate these problems with examples and provide recommendations on how foreign companies can avoid these struggles. We are using qualitative methods in our study in order to evaluate the problems foreign companies come across in Russia. The thesis is based on both primary and secondary data. Face-to-face interviews with the representatives of Swedish companies are our primary data sources. News articles, previous research papers and literature on the subject are used as secondary data sources. The general conclusion of our thesis is that even though the political and economical environment in Russia is considered to be stable the bureaucracy, cultural barriers, and transparency are the main problems for foreign investors. Possible misinterpretation of information due to different level of cultural context, short-term orientated cooperation together with little knowledge of the market can result in interruption of business flow in a company. It is therefore important for the foreign investors entering the Russian market to be well prepared with current knowledge of the investment environment, an understanding of the host-country’s culture and have a strong strategy for continuous development. Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, FDI, Russian market, cultural differences, socio-cultural environment, political and economical environment.

Full textAbstract:
During the transition era, economic resurgence in post-Soviet petro-states, such as Russia and Kazakhstan, was decisively fuelled by an abundance of oil and gas resources during a time of high and long-sustained demand for hydrocarbons in the world market. Thus, these states' energy sectors acted as the cornerstone of their post-Soviet economic and political development. However, in regard to foreign investment in their energy sectors, the governments of the different former Soviet states took strikingly different approaches: Russia for instance imposed restrictions on foreign economic groups, while Kazakhstan was more receptive to foreign investment in the sector. Given their shared economic and political background in the Soviet era discovering what accounts for this policy trend helps understand the divergence in the transition experience and more deeply rooted differences. This policy-oriented study examines perceptions, chiefly by interviews, and foreign investment strategies in the energy sector. It assesses institutional, economic and social background factors shaping perception and, to the degree that it can be determined, policy-making in post-Soviet Russia and Kazakhstan.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the late-nineteenth century partnership between Bradford worsted manufacturers the Briggs brothers and the German merchant Ernst Posselt, and their subsequent foreign direct investment in a modern factory and workers’ community at Marki, near Warsaw, in Russian Poland. Protectionism and increasing foreign competition are discussed, among many complex economic pressures on British industry, as likely catalysts for this enterprise and the general historiography of the Polish lands is explored to reveal a climate of extraordinary opportunity for well-capitalised foreign industrialists in this period. This thesis provides fresh perspective on the role of the consular service in facilitating British foreign enterprise and, in context of the Bradford partners’ strategy for local integration through social networking and religious affiliation, presents unique findings regarding the character and operations of Warsaw’s elite commercial community in the late-nineteenth century. Through the development and domination of market and raw materials sources, this venture is shown to have monopolised worsted manufacture in the Russian Empire, using state of the art technology to create, and modern marketing techniques to promote, its product range and evolving image. Aspects of British and Polish social history are compared to assess the efficacy of introducing the model-community concept, in combination with a radical employment policy, to less industrially-developed Russian Poland. The instrumentality of an expatriate community of skilled Yorkshire foremen in diffusing British industrial technology throughout the Russian Empire is described, against a backdrop of political instability and social upheaval which dramatically impacted on business behaviour after 1905.

Mestrado em MarketingNas últimas décadas, deu-se uma mudança no paradigma internacional e na maneira como os países se interrelacionam. Estas relações, cada vez mais económicas, exigem uma nova abordagem por parte dos países. Neste sentido, o conceito de soft power de Joseph Nye, enquanto poder de atracção de um país e que pode ser encontrado na sua cultura, valores e políticas externas, ao invés de hard power, considerado como poder de coerção e que pode ser económico ou militar, ganha uma maior relevância. Neste contexto, o papel do country branding enquanto ferramenta utilizada pelos países para a prossecução da sua própria agenda tem vindo a ser desenvolvido, pretendendo o presente estudo analisar o papel do mesmo com o objetivo de atrair Investimento Directo Estrangeiro e a existência de evidências de soft power e hard power nessas estratégias. Para isso, foram desenvolvidas categorias e sub-categorias de soft e hard power, baseadas na visão de Nye, que são aplicadas a uma análise qualitativa dos sites oficiais de atracção de Investimento Directo Estrangeiro das economias emergentes denominadas de BRIC (Brasil, Rússia, Índia e China). As conclusões apontam para uma forte interdependência entre as dimensões de soft power, assim como o papel que as mesmas desempenham na construção da imagem de um país.
It has been a change, in the last decades, in the international paradigm and in the way countries relate. These relationships, increasingly economic, require a new approach by countries. In this sense, the concept of soft power by Joseph Nye, as the attractiveness of a country that can be found in their culture, values and foreign policies, rather than hard power, considered coercive power and that can be economic or military, gains greater relevance. In this context, the role of country branding as a tool used by countries to pursue its own agenda has been developed, pretending this study to examine its role with the objective of Foreign Direct Investment attraction and the existence of evidence soft power and hard power in these strategies. For this, we developed categories and sub-categories of soft and hard power, based on the vision of Nye, who are applied in a qualitative analysis of the official websites for Foreign Direct Investment attraction of the emerging economies known as BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China). The conclusions suggest a strong interdependence between the soft power dimensions and also the importance of their role in the image construction of a country.

Full textAbstract:
This study has explored the public diplomacy activity performed by the Russian
government and other organizations to improve Russia’s image as an investment
destination and to attract U.S. direct investment in January – December 2010. This period
was marked with the increase in investment promotion activity of the Russian
government and other interested institutions.
The main method used in the work is an exploratory case study of Russia’s public
diplomacy efforts aimed to establish a positive investment image of Russia among U.S.
investors. The investigation was based on the case studies of 5 public diplomacy events:
the Russia Forum 2010, the announcement of creating the Skolkovo innovation center,
the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s
visit to the United States, and the Global Innovation Partnerships Forum in honor of the
visit of the U.S. trade delegation led by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to
Russia.
The study analyzed the major players in the Russian public diplomacy aimed at attracting
U.S. investment such as the Russian government, private sector players (investment
banks), business associations, American public officials and business climate evaluators.
Major strategies employed by the public diplomacy players were identified as alliances,
third-party endorsements, audience participation and media relations.
The work also examined the effectiveness of Russian public diplomacy players’ media
relations to improve Russia’s image as investment destination through the content
analysis of the coverage of Russia in the U.S. media. Public diplomacy activities that
received more media coverage among the analyzed events involved the participation of
high-ranking Russian officials, participation of U.S. public officials and announcement of
new investment policies as well as deals reached by Russia and U.S. investorsDepartment of Journalism

The main objective of this thesis was to examine the determinants of Russian export directed to its 36 main trading partners. Employing the Gravity model, the standard gravity variables, such as economic masses of the trading partners and their distance, were estimated as having significant impacts on the volume of export from Russia. However, a special attention was paid to the role of FDI, studying whether FDI flows or FDI stock act as complements or substitutes of the export. Unfortunately, with the help of the Fixed-effects and the Random-effects estimation methods we came to statistically insignificant conclusions, which might have been caused by the prevalence of missing observations in the FDI variables.

Russia is a Resourced Based Economy. As its national economics policy is developed based on energy, energy price fluctuation would have an impact to Russia Economy. Therefore, Russia seeks to reverse its dependence in energy and diversifies development in different industries. From Year 1993, it has enacted a law for Foreign Direct Investment, gradually opens up to foreign investment, lowers down restrictions and standards to normative policies and investment for industries, and inflow of Foreign Direct Investment begins to take off in Russia market. This research adopts Granger Causality Test and Impulse Response Analysis to verify if inflow of Foreign Direct Investment is beneficial to Russia’s overall economics development and industrial structure diversification. However, the effect is not obvious and Russia still uses “Energy Policy” as the strategy to economics policy. In order to satisfy global and local market demands to energy and ensure Russia’s position in global energy market, inflow of Foreign Direct Investment has comparatively higher ratios in energy industry, and so does the local market is prosperous. Though, inflow of Foreign Direct Investment in non-energy industries sometimes would climb up, it has not achieved very obvious effects for industrial diversification.

Since 1980s the development of international investment and trade, led to EU countries have increasing their foreign direct investment overseas every year, and becoming the foreign direct investment outflow economies. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian economy was in a transitional period, as it was transforming from a communist economy to a capitalistic market. This led to a strong demand for foreign capital, and so foreign direct investment played an important role in its economic development. EU investment in Russia grew steadily; the EU was Russia’s largest source of direct investment. According to the data of Eurostat, the 2007 EU FDI in Russia was about 17.2 billion euros; than in 2008, it increase to 25.6 billion euros, approximately accounting for 46% of the total foreign direct investment in Russia. Thus, the EU is Russia’s largest source of direct investment, and plays an important role in Russia’s inward FDI. The eclectic theory of Dunning John is the theoretical basis to examine the EU direct investment in Russia, exploring EU direct investment in Russian industry, regional characteristics, the investment motives and the business model. Having a grasp for the overall investment in Russia is the first step to analyze the regional distribution and characteristics. The competitive edge of European entrepreneurship overseas along with the potential advantages of the host countries will be analyzed via the motivational approach of EU’s outward for Russian investment. However, the inherent advantages of EU entrepreneurs are the analytical basis to the foreign investment. The purpose for the study aims to analyze the Entry Mode, which EU countries invest in Russia, by means of case study as well as SWOT analysis. The conclusion of thesis is demonstrated, as far as the motive of investing in Russia is concerned, market-seeking and resource-seeking are the main approaches for EU; whereas, in order to enter into Russian market, these transnational enterprises of EU take M&A manner as a lever to acquire the market share. Furthermore, the analysis for case study and SWOT outlines that the success of EU enterprises is attributed by using internal strength and external opportunities to efficiently operate the business in Russian market.

The main purpose of this thesis work is to analyze the role of FDI in Russian economy and to find out the degree of impact on the economic growth. The empirical research captures 2000-2013 years specifying by quarterly time-series, which investigates the topic based on two hypotheses. These hypotheses mainly revolve over the role of FDI in the economy as a whole and by major economic sectors (financial sector, heavy industry sector and trade sector). The evidence outcomes of the investigation makes it clear that FDI does not always induce the economic growth by sectors, since due to the spillover effect, there is not a warranty that each sector gets equivalent positive impact from the inflow of FDI.

Today, the urgency of inflow use of foreign capital investments in the Russian economy is obvious. The aspiration for openness of the economy, increase of the competitiveness of national industries, reestablishment of the confidence in the world market, the participation in the international financial exchange cause the necessity to create conditions for attraction of foreign investments. One of the major problems of reforming and modernization of the Russian economy is the ability to attract foreign direct investments. As considering serious technological gap of the Russian economy in the majority of positions, the foreign capital which could bring new (for Russia) technologies and modem methods of management is simply of utmost importance for Russia. The inflow of foreign capital investments is vitally important for the achievement of such purposes, as a way out from crisis and a basis for initial development of the economy. The Russian public interests cannot always coincide with the interests of foreign investors. It is important to involve capitals in a way that does not deprive their owners of motivations, and at the same time directing actions of investors for the welfare of the public purposes. The aim of my thesis is the complex research of a role of foreign direct investments in the economy of...

Full textAbstract:
Located in one of the world’s most resource-rich regions, the Russian Far
East suggests major potential interactions with one of the world’s fastest
growing economies in Northeast Asia, namely, Japan, Korea and China.
Russian economic reform and the allowance of foreign direct investment
have increased the chance of realizing such potential.
The primary purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the role of South
Korean investment in developing the forest resources of the Russian Far
East and exporting the raw materials produced to Japan and South Korea.
The secondary purpose is to investigate the opportunities for and
constraints on the realization of the potential economic complementarity
present among the three countries. The Russian Far East could help Japan
and South Korea to increase the security of resource supply for the two
countries’ economies, whereas the Russian Far East could take advantage of
these countries’ capital and technology to speed up regional economic
development and the region’s integration into the Asia-Pacific economy.
An analytical framework is developed to analyze the foreign direct
investment, or transnational corporate activities, in forest development
projects in the Russian Far East. This study has used a case study approach
for the analysis. The South Korean-Russian forestry joint venture Svetlaya
was selected for the purpose. The case study reviewed the joint venture’s
three year operation through interviews both on site and in the head office
of the Korean investor, and the interviews were further supported by a
field visit to the joint venture’s project site in Svetlaya, Primorskiy Kray.
This dissertation has demonstrated that foreign direct investment still
poses many problems to realize the forest resource potential in the Russian
Far East and consequent increase in exports to the Pacific Rim countries.
Nevertheless, this dissertation suggests that joint venture as an alternative
means to, for example, KS agreements, will be preferably employed to
increase exports of forest products from the region. This study also
suggests that the future foreign investment should be directed towards
more processing-oriented activities than logging which aggravates the
region’s negative attitudes towards foreign investment as exhibited in the
case study.
This study also concludes that a definite interest in forestry investment
exists in the Russian Far East, though political and economic instability
becomes the largest barrier to attracting foreign investments in the short
term and to integrating them into the Asia-Pacific economy in the long
term. A longer-term vision, rather than seeking short-term financial gain,
is required for future forestry investments in the region.
This dissertation attempts to provide implications of the global pattern of
the interactions between forest regions and world core markets through an
analysis of the same interactions in Northeast Asia.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the long-standing cooperation between Portugal and Russia, the current bilateral trade values do not commensurate the two and a half decades of cooperation. The current trade values trend based on data between 2006 and 2019 shows somewhat unstable trade relations characterized by both rising and falling in different years. While different scholars have explored the challenges that should be addressed, such as trade protectionism and opportunities that can be exploited to enhance trade relations, there still exists a gap in literature exploring various measures that can be employed to improve the Russian-Portuguese trade relations. Therefore, this research aims to explore the current situation in the trade relations between Russia and Portugal and also the measures that can be employed to improve the international trade standing between the two countries. Analysis of data from secondary sources shows that Portugal and Russia have traded for approximately 240 years. Russia mainly sells crude oil products and farm inputs to Portugal, while Portugal mainly provides agricultural commodities to Russia. The key success factors required to improve the Russian-Portuguese trade relations include favorable trade policies, increased foreign direct investment, and preferential bilateral agreements. Presently, there is a mismatch between Russia's and Portugal’s trade policies, whereby Russia is more protectionist than Portugal.
Moreover, there is only one identifiable bilateral trade agreement whose impact on countries’ trade relations is remote. The level of foreign direct investment is still low to impact trade relations between Russia and Portugal. This study proposes a three-fold strategy to improve Russian-Portuguese trade relations. Firstly, the relaxation of trade policies such as ease of trading across the border, tariffs, and economic freedom is necessary. Secondly, the nations should take measures to boost the level of foreign direct investment amongst them. Thirdly, preferential trade agreements are necessary to address the trade barriers and position the countries as strategic trade and investment partners.Apesar da cooperação de longa data entre Portugal e a Rússia, o acordo comercial bilateral em vigor não é proporcional de parte a parte nos últimos 25 anos de cooperação. Os valores de transação comercial, relativamente aos anos de 2016 e 2019 demonstram relações instáveis de comércio caracterizadas por subidas e descidas em diferentes anos. Enquanto que alguns especialistas tenham explorado alguns dos desafios que devem ser encarados, como medidas protecionistas e oportunidades que poderiam ser exploradas para aumentar as relações de comércio, ainda existe uma disparidade na literatura no que concerne às diferentes medidas que poderiam ser tomadas para melhorar as relações comerciais entre Portugal e a Rússia. Por isso, esta pesquisa procura explorar a situação atual de comércio internacional entre os dois países e focar nas medidas que podem ser tomadas para melhorar o comércio internacional. A análise de dados de fontes secundárias mostram que o comércio internacional entre Portugal e a Rússia datam de, aproximadamente, há 240 anos. A Rússia vende maioritariamente produtos petrolíferos e matérias primas agrícolas a Portugal, enquanto que Portugal exporta produtos agrícolas à Rússia. Os fatores-chave de sucesso necessários para melhorar as relações de comércio incluem políticas comerciais favoráveis, aumento do Investimento Direto Estrangeiro (IDE) e acordos de preferência bilateral. Atualmente existe um desfasamento entre as duas políticas comerciais, de onde a Rússia denota uma postura mais protecionista do que Portugal. Além disso, é possível identificar apenas um acordo bilateral cujo impacto no comércio internacional de ambos os países é pequeno. O nível de IDE ainda não é suficiente para ter impacto no comércio internacional entre os dois países. Este estudo propõe uma estratégia de três etapas para aumentar as relações russo-portuguesas: em primeiro lugar, é necessário a flexibilização de políticas comerciais, como, por exemplo no sentido de facilitação de comércio bilateral, tarifas e liberdade económica; em segundo lugar, as nações deveriam tomar medidas para aumentar os níveis de IDE; por fim, acordos de comércio preferenciais são necessários para enfrentar as barreiras comerciais e posicionar os países como parceiros estratégicos de comécio e de investimento.

Full textAbstract:
The absence of a relevant legal basis between huge commercial partners such as the EU as a single entity and the Russian Federation promoted the emergence of a legal vacuum. The long term cooperation between Russia and the EU has only one bilateral agreement - the Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation signed in 1994, which is however obsolete, and does not meet the contemporary needs. The adequate legal basis for Russia-EU cooperation in the gas sector is still missing. The protection of investments in the gas sector is being realized by bilateral agreements between Russia and EU member states, soft law and general international agreements, without any specifications for those two partners. The only international instrument covering the energy relations of these two partners - Energy Charter Treaty cannot be considered as a reliable mechanism, as Russia withdrew from it more than 8 years ago. The reasons of the withdrawal and the Yukos case as an illustrative example are discussed in this paper. In order to avoid uncertainty in such strategic area as gas investment relations and unpredictable decisions between the states represented by the commercial entities, there is a need to design a substantive legal basis, and a need to consider on the adequate dispute resolution body. In this thesis, key...
