Reviews
'... this book by Melanie Beresford and Dang Phong is a welcome contribution ... Economic Transition in Vietnam is written by two Vietnamese-speaking authors, both with a thorough knowledge of Vietnamese culture and traditions ... Economic Transition in Vietnam is, to summarize, a very useful complement to the more theoretical literature on problems of transition ... the focus is original and helps us to a better understanding of the key role played by the bottom-up and spontaneous elements of the reform process.' -- Stefan de Vylder, Journal of Economic Literature 'This is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of an important yet still enigmatic Asian economy. Vietnam clearly has the potential for high speed, export-oriented economic growth, yet its performance and institutional transition during the past decade have been disappointing. The authors throw much light on this paradox. Particularly eye opening are sections dealing with the roles of smuggling, illicit trade, students and diplomats in Vietnam's modern development. Not to be missed by anyone seriously concerned with Asian trade and economics.' -- Christopher Howe, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK
