Parte-se de uma proposta de análise de um período relativamente longo: de 1948 aos dias atuais. Vários momentos históricos levarão a mutações do objeto e, desse modo, a nuanças no debate sobre os efeitos do IDE e da ação das ET. O ataque ao tema a partir da CEPAL nos permite abranger boa parte, senão a totalidade, dos aspectos acima apontados e nos proporciona um bom ponto de partida na construção de uma reflexão crítica sobre o IDE e as ações das ET na economia brasileira / Mestrado / Teoria Economica / Mestre em Ciências Econômicas

Para tanto, investigamos o papel do investimento direto estrangeiro nos padrões de acumulação capitalista como um todo e sua influência sobre a periferia, e, em seguida, analisamos a particularidade brasileira e suas etapas de internacionalização produtiva no desenvolvimento capitalista, assim como a sua interação com o poder estatal. Apoiada nesse percurso, nossa tese defende que, à medida que a internacionalização avançou por diversas etapas, a potencialidade de o país comandar um processo de industrialização por seus próprios meios, voltada à emancipação de sua condição subdesenvolvida, igualmente enfraqueceu-se. Ao subordinar-se gradativamente à arte de conquista do capital internacional, a economia brasileira viu reduzir-se sua própria capacidade de mover a industrialização de modo a completar a implantação das forças produtivas. O resultado é uma economia nacional portadora de uma indústria relativamente complexa, mas que sucumbiu paulatinamente à vulnerabilidade e à incerteza estrutural emanadas pela valorização do capital internacional. / Abstract: The purpose of this work is to research the relationship between international capital and the Brazilian capitalist development between 1951 and 1992, which resulted in the deepening of our external dependence. In order to do so, we have investigated the role of foreign direct investment in the general patterns of capitalist accumulation and its influence on peripheral economies. Subsequently, we have analyzed the Brazilian particularity and the stages of its internationalization of production during the process of capitalist development. Furthermore, we have also studied the interaction between international capital and the Brazilian State. Based on these elements, our thesis is that, while capital internationalization advanced through different stages, it weakened the ability of the country to command an autonomous process of industrialization and to emancipate from its condition of underdevelopment. In gradually subordinating itself to the art of conquest of international capital, the Brazilian economy has reduced its capacity to complete the implantation of productive forces. The result was a national economy with a relatively complex industry, yet highly vulnerable to the structural uncertainty which emanates from the valorization of international capital. / Doutorado / Historia Economica / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico

Les contrats pétroliers iraniens sont habituellement de type Buy-back mais devraient évoluer sous la forme d’IPC, s’éloignant du modèle traditionnel des contrats de partage de production. Un contrat Buy-back est essentiellement un contrat de service en vertu duquel une société étrangère développe une ressource pétrolière ou gazière. Elle est rémunérée grâce aux revenus issus du projet, mais cette dernière ne possédera aucun intérêt dans le projet après le remboursement des investissements effectués. Les contrats de partage de production sont des contrats dans lesquels, la compagnie internationale pétrolière agit comme un entrepreneur, et possède le droit d’explorer et d’exploiter un gisement pour une durée déterminée et dans une région précise. Le pétrole ainsi produit de ce champ sera partagé entre la compagnie nationale et la société pétrolière étrangère selon les termes du contrat. L’une des questions à laquelle il faut accorder une attention particulière, c’est celle relative au mode contractuel qui permet de concilier les intérêts des pays d’accueil et les intérêts des sociétés étrangères. C’est en ces termes que se pose la problématique des contrats pétroliers. Chaque type de contrats articule ces deux exigences de manière différente. Le choix de l’Iran s’est porté sur les contrats Buy-back. Les contrats Buy-back, considérés comme étant plus conformes au droit iranien, essuient des critiques de la part de ses détracteurs. Mettant en exergue ses lacunes, ces derniers proposent son remplacement par le contrat partage de production qui est le plus couramment utilisé dans le monde. Cependant, l’amélioration des contrats Buy-back serait plus adaptée. / Iranian oil contracts are usually Buy-back contracts, but should evolved as IPC, away from the traditional model Production Sharing Agreement. A Buy-back contract is essentially a service contract under which a foreign company develops an oil or gas resource. The company is repaid by the revenues of the project, but does not share in the project outcome after being repaid. Production sharing agreements are contracts, in which the international oil company as a contractor has the right to exploration and exploitation in a specific area and within a specific period. Finally, the oil product of the field in question is shared between the national company and the foreign oil company as agreed upon under the terms of contract. One question which needs to be carefully examined pertains to the types of contracts which allow the reconciliation of the interests of host countries and those of foreign companies. This is in these the main issue, which arises in relation to oil contracts. Each type of contracts takes a different form depending on the way they meet these two requirements. Iran has often preferred Buy-back contracts. Buy-back contracts, considered most consistent with the Iranian laws, have been subject to criticism. Highlighting these gaps, some critics propose substituting Buy-back agreements whit production sharing agreements, which are most commonly used in the world. The effectiveness of such reform is, however, questionable. Improving Buy-back contracts would, arguably, be more appropriate.

The diploma thesis " Support and Protection of Foreign Investments in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria" adresses the issue of analysis of current situation, role and importance of investment incentives in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. It focuses on investment environment in the two countries and its influence on investors' decision making. It deals with the question whether investment incentives are necessary or they cause market distortion and discriminate.

The aim of this work is practical recommendations for effective integration of multinational companies to the Russian market, coming out of the theoretical basis studies. To meet the goals of this work the methods of data clustering, classification and identification of priority processes and events, method of comparable analysis and implementation of abroad expansion experience of the companies were used. As the main method of the country specifics analysis was chosen PESTLE-analysis. Conclusions and recommendations can be used to select the appropriate entrance form of the multinational company to the foreign market or expanding its international activities and gaining a foothold on the Russian market.
