Political developments -- Economic developments.
Review: "The period since 1989 has seen massive changes in political and economic institutions across the communist world, not only as demonstrated by China's rapidly growing economic and political power, but also in Vietnam where the model of concessions to free-market capitalism coupled with a one-party state has also been influential. This book provides an account of economic and political developments in Vietnam, focusing particularly on the period since the collapse of the Soviet empire in the years from 1989. The course and impact of the Vietnam War is discussed, and the book goes on to consider the challenges faced by Vietnam since 1975, as the reunited country faced the problem of how a poorer, planned economy in which state ownership and control dominated could successfully absorb more advanced, capitalist economic mechanisms. It also examines the politics of the Communist Party, the evolving pattern of Vietnam's external relations, including the re-establishment of relations with the United States, and the effects of more recent episodes such as the Asian financial crisis, SARS and bird flu. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current political and economic situation in Vietnam today, and is an important resource for all scholars interested in this country's recent development."--BOOK JACKET.
