Western Direct Investments in European CMEA Countries in the 1970s and 1980s

[摘要] The purpose of this study is to investigate how Western enterprises can participate in the development of centrally planned economies (CPEs) of Eastern Europe by making foreign direct investments (FDI). Only those East European countries which are members of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) are included in this study, although other socialist countries, like Yugoslavia and China, also allow FDIs on their territories. Cuba, which is a full, non European member of the CMEA, and has joint venture rules, is excluded. The disregarding of these three countries mentioned is justified, because their inclusion would complicate the study unnecessarily.
