Synopsis

The ten essays presented by Stockton (Center for International Studies, U. of St. Thomas) are drawn from a symposium titled Vietnam 2005: Development Futures and Global Integration, held in November of 2004. Contributors were asked to assess the prospects for Vietnam's accession to the World Trade Organization and to predict the political, economic, and social consequences of accession. Topics include the applicability of the standard development and democratization framework to analysis of Vietnam, the emergence of civil society and its relationship to pressure for political liberalization, economic and trade conditions and areas of reform, changing views within the ruling communist party, and the future of US-Vietnamese relations.

Review

"This volume has much to offer those interested specifically in Vietnam as a case study, but also to broader audiences engaged in research on democratization, the impact of globalization on development strategies, emergence of civil society, and the dilemma of today's totalitarian hangers-on..." - Gustavo Wensjoe, Director and Sarofim Chair, Center for International Studies, University of St. Thomas"
