Motives and Patterns of Post-Soviet Immigrant Entrepreneurship in Austria

Abstract: The project addresses the relationship between foreign direct investments from emerging markets, entrepreneurship, and post-Soviet migrations. By applying the Varieties of Capitalism paradigm on immigrant entrepreneurship, the project provides new theoretical insights on the literature on comparative and international political economy, as well as insights for policy-makers on migration at the EU and member-states levels.
