The subject of this paper is analysis and assessment of foreign direct investment (FDI) as made by transnational corporations in the textile, garment, and leather industry on a world economic scale under conditions of globalization. Significant changes are occurring in the sector and industry structure of global FDI. In terms of the three sectors of the economy, a long-term shift of FDI to the service sector at a cost to investments in manufacturing may be seen. Foreign investments are being made in the textile, garment, and leather industry. They are growing in the long term. However, the dynamics of the FDI streams flowing to this industry is one of the lowest in manufacturing. Over the long term (1990-2007), the share of the textile, garment, and leather industry in global FDI stock decreased from 1.5% to 0.6% in 2007. In spite of the labour-intensive character of this industry, in their bulk, the FDI are destined to the highly developed countries.

Peculiarities of regional processes of foreign direct investment impact on the gross domestic product of Western Ukraine and Chernivtsi region, taking into account a time lag, are reviewed in this article. Considering the fact that investment processes are enough complicated phenomenon to understand in the course of which different kinds of changes occur, the relevance and importance of establishing a pattern of their behavior is increasing. Economical and mathematical tools, in particular Almon distributed lag models which allow to estimate the discrete lag influence of determinants can be used to achieve this. In the course of the study, the Almon distributed lag models were constructed separately for the comparison, time lag interval boundaries were set, the main features of the discrete time lag distribution during the lag period were determined, and the economic and mathematical models of the distributed lag for the effects of foreign direct investment on the gross regional product of Chernivtsi region Western Ukraine were built. On the basis of the obtained results, conclusions about economic multiplier processes of the investment were made in the context of individual territories and the main trends of the investment flow return were defined.

Foreign direct investment in Russia in a historical aspect are discussed in the article. It is noted that theoretical studies on this issue have led to a better understanding of the economic mechanism and the behavior of various participants in the economic sphere at both the micro and macro levels, which has opened up new areas of research in the field of economics. It is stated that an understanding of why a company initiates foreign direct investment in a particular country or increases their volume, allows us to present the main motives of the management of firms to invest, rather than to export or outsource production to national firms. The purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in foreign direct investment in the Russian Federation in various historical periods. A review of economic indicators on attracted investments, reflected in the relevant economic reports of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, as well as other documents, a periodization of direct foreign investment in the Russian Federation was made. Based on the analysis, the authors propose to consider five periods: from the late 1980s to 1999, from 2000 to 2007, from 2008 to 2013, from 2014 to 2019 and from 2020 to the present, which have their own characteristics. Attention is paid to the fact that foreign direct investment in the Russian Federation during these periods was uneven, due to serious political contradictions in the international arena.

An important part of the international capital movement is in a different form known as foreign direct investment. This term refers to international capital flows in which a company of a country creates or extends its representation in another country. Foreign direct investment is a direct investment in production or business in a country by a company from another country, by purchasing a company in a given country or by extending the operations of a permanent business in that country. Foreign direct investment has many forms. Widely viewed FDI include acquisitions and acquisitions, building new facilities, reinvestment of profits earned in external operations and internal corporate loans. The investment is direct because the investor, company or group of investors requires control, management or significant influence over a foreign company. FDI is the largest source of external financing, and accordingly, it appears that countries with limited capital typically have an influx of finance from rich countries. According to the World Bank, FDI and the development of small business types are two crucial elements necessary for developing the private sector in underdeveloped countries, as well as reducing the economic gap.

This article considers two areas that arise in the context of corporate criminal investigations relating to claims of legal professional privilege: the extent to which litigation privilege may attach to communications made in the context of such investigations and the difficulty of identifying the client for the purposes of legal advice privilege. These issues are of particular significance where a company is or may be the subject of an investigation by specialist prosecuting authorities, such as the Serious Fraud Office. We identify the policy considerations justifying litigation privilege and whether they continue to explain the current ambit of the privilege. With particular reference to the extent to which the privilege is capable of attaching to communications made for the purpose of working towards a potential settlement, we consider how the constraints upon its ambit operate in the context of corporate criminal investigations. In relation to legal advice privilege, we demonstrate that it is possible to give a coherent explanation of the jurisprudence in this area which, while accepting that decisions are fact-specific, should enable corporations and the courts to identify the client within the corporation with a greater degree of confidence.

This paper, while analysing innovation in Southeast Europe, and in particular the case study of Macedonia, focuses on the basic ties between foreign direct investments and innovation. Foreign direct investment is usually defined as dominant or controlling ownership of a company in one country (the host country), by an entity based in another country. The concept of industry-government-university relationships interprets the change from a dominating industry-government duo in the ‘industrial society’ to a growing triadic relationship between industry-government-university in the ‘knowledge society’.From the beginning of the transition process, foreign direct investments have been a priority, an essential pillar that moves the society forward towards a developed market economy. In addition, as the influx of capital increases it inevitably brings with it increased innovation. Hence we examine the possibility that these two indicators have a positive and upward ascent and facilitate the development of the economy.

The paper aims at presenting the current macroeconomic picture of the Republic of Serbia through the analysis of import and export policy, the volume of foreign trade and their impact on economic growth. In relation to the set goals, the paper is divided into four thematic units, with conclusions and possible recommendations at the end. Special emphasis was placed on exports, its development opportunities and improving competitiveness, as well as the presentation of recommendations within the Serbia's New Growth Agenda. The subject of this paper is based on theoretical data analysis, through descriptive and comparative methods as well as the synthesis of theoretical and empirical facts.
