International joint ventures : Soviet and Western perspectives /

Written by an international team of experts on joint ventures, primarily between the US and the USSR, this work provides a solid foundation for the study of joint ventures with the USSR. Chapters are brief and succinct and contribute important detail about the legal, economic, and political bases of joint ventures, as well as about their management problems, and why some succeed and some fail. There is much accurate and useful information for the student of joint ventures even though the book's publication date limits its purview to legislation and events only through 1990. Nevertheless, despite the profound changes that have occurred since August of 1991, the insights and information will remain very valuable to researchers of the subject as well as to professionals and students seeking to become better informed about successful cooperation arrangements.
