Vietnam rethinking the state

Gainsborough, Martin 1966- (Author).

Summary: An up-to-date look at the politics of Vietnam as it seeks to make the transition from war-torn economic backwater to a dynamic and modern society. The book argues for a move away from the idea of 'reform', arguing for a deeper understanding of the concept and questioning of the idea of state-retreat.
