Trapeznikov, V.A. Specific features of legal status of state as a participant of investment relations.

Abstract: Participation of state in the investment relations is aimed at the realization of the public goals of the state itself. Accordingly, the state, while taking part in the private civil relations and the public legal relations in the sphere of investment, often gets itself into a dubious position. On one hand it should protect the public interest of the society as a whole, and on the other hand, it should obey the civil law requirements, protecting the interests of the private persons in a particular case. This article by V.A. Trapeznikov is devoted to the conflict of interest issues within the framework of investment law, which the author regards as an independent complex branch of the Russian law.
