Foreign Direct Investment in Central Eastern Europe: Case Studies of Firms in Transition
This work presents twelve case studies of foreign direct investment in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia. The studies include major firms such as Skoda and Danone, as well as smaller ventures, and cover the same sectors for each country, thereby permitting useful comparisons and assessments of: the role of country, sector, technology, and firm-specific characteristics in determining the pattern and nature of foreign direct investment; the potential implications of FDI for the competitiveness of the investing firms; the impact of infusions of capital investments, technology, and managerial resources for the host economies; and the policy implications for host countries and relevant international institutions.

The Oscar Wilde World of Gossip
The Oscar Wilde World of Gossip is an illuminating, hilarious and altogether astonishing collection of pen-portraits of over 300 of Wilde's friends and enemies, linked by brief notes on his life story. An unrivaled treasure trove bursting with spell-binding stories, The Oscar Wilde World of Gossip effortlessly carries the reader from gutter to palace, from college to courtroom, from battlefield to brothel and rips the veil from the licentious reality of Victorian life. Simultaneously a 'dip-in' reference book and a continuous narrative, it is an exuberant compendium of malicious rumour, salacious detail, and backstabbing one-liners. It is also, without question, the funniest book ever written about the Age of Wilde.

Specifically, the book examines the development and post-1990 restructuring of the Czech car, components, and truck industries.

This book focuses on the Interkosmos program, which was formed in 1967, marking a fundamentally new era of cooperation by socialist countries, led by the Soviet Union, in the study and exploration of space. The chapters shed light on the space program that was at that time a prime outlet for the Soviet Union's aims at becoming a world power. Interkosmos was a highly publicized Russian space program that rapidly became a significant propaganda tool for the Soviet Union in the waning years of communism. Billed as an international “research-cosmonaut” imperative, it was also a high-profile means of displaying solidarity with the nine participating Eastern bloc countries. Those countries con...
