Political and military situation during 1989.

In 1989, the governing structures of the People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK), which re-christened itself the State of Cambodia (SOC) in mid-year, undertook modest organizational changes and ministerial-level personnel shifts during the year, and put into place the legislative paraphenalia required to run an economic reform campaign. The author discusses domestic politics, the life of the People's Revolutionary Party of Kampuchea (PRPK), the armed forces of the SOC, the Khmer Rouge faction, the continuation of the guerilla war and peace negotiations to solve the Cambodia conflict.

Vietnam's economic reform programme, in full swing by the mid-1980s, gained its initial momentum from the September 1979 benchmark plenum of the Vietnamese Communist Party (VNCP) Central Committee and the 1980 efforts to implement the late 1979 reforms. The Sixth National Congress of VNCP was held in December 1986. The paper reviews the record of economic reforms in Vietnam from the late 1970s to the period of the Sixth Party Congress and discusses the current reformist efforts directed at remaking the economy. The paper also explores the 1987 record of the nearly decade-long parallel effort to salvage the institution of the Party. (DÜI-Sen)
