In 1986, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) adopted the Doi Moi (Renovation) policy at its sixth national congress, opening up a new chapter in the country's modern history. Under Doi Moi, Vietnam has undergone significant socio-economic, political and foreign policy reforms that have transformed the country in many meaningful ways. This edited volume aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the multiple aspects and transformations of Vietnam's foreign policy over the past thirty years. The book is divided into three sections. The first covers the broader framework of Vietnam's foreign policy making and the historical evolution of Vietnam's diplomacy under Doi Moi. The second examines Vietnam's bilateral relationships with its major partners, namely the United States, China, Japan, India, Russia, its smaller neighbours (Cambodia and Laos), and ASEAN. Finally, the book looks into two major issues in Vietnam's current foreign policy: the management of the South China Sea disputes and the international economic integration process. As the most informative, updated and comprehensive volume on Vietnam's foreign policy under Doi Moi, the book is a useful reference for academics, policymakers and students, as well as anyone interested in contemporary Vietnam in general and its foreign policy in particular.

dara operates as the registration agency for social science and economic data jointly run by GESIS (http://www.gesis.org) and ZBW (http://www.zbw.eu). dara pursues the goal of long-term, persistent identification and availability of research data via allocation of DOI names. In keeping with the ideals of good scientific practice there is a demand for open access to existing primary data so as to not only have the final research results but also be able to reconstruct the entire research process. GESIS and ZBW therefore offer a registration service for social and economic research data in cooperation with DataCite (http://www.datacite.org), an international consortium pursuing the goal of supporting the acceptance of research data as independent citable scientific objects. This infrastructure lays the foundation for long-term, persistent identification, storage, localization and reliable citation of research data. [...]

Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Stadtentwicklung Hanois von den Anfängen bis heute als Abfolge historischer und gegenwärtiger Transformationsprozesse skizziert und erläutert. Die ökonomischen sowie sozialen Veränderungen im Zuge des jüngsten Transformationsprozesses, unter dem Namen Doi Moi' (übersetzt: Erneuerung) bekannt, zeigen sich in den vietnamesischen Städten am stärksten. Die beiden großen Metropolen des Landes Ho Chi Minh Stadt und Hanoi haben zwar von den Doi Moi Politik am meisten profitiert; aber auch die Schattenseiten der eingeleiteten Reformmaßnahmen, etwa die mit einer wachsenden Einkommenspolarisierung einhergehende Zunahme der intraurbanen Disparitäten, der Anstieg der Arbeitslosigkeit sowie als Folge eines steigenden Migrationsdrucks aus den ländlichen Gebieten das Entstehen slumähnlicher Siedlungen sind hier am deutlichsten erkennbar. Ähnlich wie in vielen osteuropäischen Städten sind von jeweils unterschiedlichen Akteursgruppen initiierte transformat! ionstypische Prozesse wie ein Gründungsboom im Privatsektor, nachholende Citybildung, Internationalisierung sowie mit sozialer und räumlicher Segregation einhergehende Verdrängungsprozesse feststellbar. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich aus einem mikroanalytischen Blickwinkel heraus mit den Auswirkungen des Transformationsprozesses insbesondere auf die Innenstadt Hanois. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass die Art und das Ausmaß des wirtschafts- und sozialräumlichen Wandels stark von der Persistenz baulich-physiognomischer Strukturen beeinflusst wird, die ihrerseits Resultat der historischen Transformationsprozesse ist. Da kein anderer Wirtschaftszweig so schnell und dynamisch auf gesellschaftliche Veränderungen reagiert wie der (Einzel-) Handel, wurden im Rahmen einer Primärerhebung die überaus heterogenen Einzelhandelsstrukturen der Innenstadt Hanois erfasst und Inhaber von Einzelhandelsbetrieben befragt. Den räumlichen Schwerpunkt der empirischen Untersuchung bildet das älteste noch! existierende Handels-, Markt- und Gewerbegebiet Vietnams, das sogenannte 36-Gassen-Gebiet. Dieses erfuhr in der frühen Transformationsphase zunächst einen vor allem durch ansässige Bewohner getragenen Gründungsboom im privaten Handel. Im Rahmen der empirischen Analyse wird nachgewiesen, dass im Verlauf des Transformationsprozesses durch neue außerhalb des 36-Gassen-Gebiets stammende unternehmerisch orientierte Personen Modernisierungsprozesse initiiert wurden, die Verdrängungsprozesse in Gang gesetzt haben. Darüber hinaus wurden die verschiedenen Akteursgruppen identifiziert und eine zukünftige Bewertung des Akteursgefüge vorgenommen. Der Einzelhandel wird damit zum Spiegelbild der gesellschaftlichen Polarisierung, die durch die Begriffe Transformationsverlierer' und Transformationsgewinner' beschrieben werden kann. Dabei stellt die Doi-Moi-Politik die (vorerst) letzte Stufe der die Stadtentwicklung Hanois beeinflussenden historischen Abfolge von Transformationsprozessen dar, deren komplexe Dynamik sich in den gezeigten Veränderungen im Einzelhandel eindrücklich widerspiegelt.

"This book presents a comprehensive overview of managers and management in Vietnam, based on extensive original research, including interviews with a large number of managers in Vietnam. It shows how management in Vietnam is best understood from the perspective of Vietnamese managers themselves, rather than in terms of Western or Asian models of management."--Publisher's description

In 1986, Viet Nam began to introduce sweeping liberalization in all sectors of its previously hardline, centrally planned, and closed economy. Referred to as doi moi, this ''renovation'' has produced dramatic changes in the lives of Vietnamese farmers, workers, and their households. Agricultural production has soared. The country now welcomes foreign trade, investment, tourists, business people, students, and scholars. Personal incomes have increased, and Viet Nam is a new member of the Association ofSouth East Asian Nations (ASEAN). In this book, Vietnamese scholars describe the origins and impacts of these changes. They examine how the policy shift of doi moi has affected rural development, urban housing, household economy, and social welfare. Collaborating with Canadian scholars, they draw upon original field surveys, historical documents, and census material to study the evolution of doi moi and its implications for the future development of Viet Nam. Socioeconomic Renovation in Viet Nam illuminates the key questions and issues that policy advisers and decision-makers must wrestle with to ensure Viet Nam's successful emergence into the global family of nations. It will also appeal to development professionals; students and scholars in Asian studies, economics, and rural development; and businesses considering new investment in Viet Nam.

This book attempts to reflect on the changes that Vietnam has experienced over the past 30 years, during and after DoiMoi. Through multi-dimensional empirical investigations, it aims to offer theoretical and empirical accounts for how a variety of socioeconomic regimes emerged after the end of the Cold War. Being methodologically pluralist (including both theoretical and empirical studies), it aims to give a higher profile to heterodox thinking in comparative political economy. Particular attention is given to post-socialist governance, economic transformation, land rights, trade-led growth, civil society participation, climate change, and the post-COVID 19 recovery. This book comes at a time when great changes are about to take place in Southeast Asia, where heterodox economic development strategy is rather understudied. With Asia playing an increasingly important role in the world economy, readers wish not only to hear about the economic transformation but also to see certain hidden aspects or original evidence in order that they can perceive the other dimensions put in place in a market-oriented economy. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in transitional economics, development economics and the political economy.

This book examines how the interaction between political and economic factors under Doi Moi has shaped Vietnam's China policy and bilateral relations since the late 1980s.After providing a historical background, the book examines the conflicting effects that Doi Moi has generated on bilateral relations. It demonstrates that Vietnam's economic considerations following the adoption of Doi Moi contributed decidedly to the Sino-Vietnamese normalization in 1991 as well as the continuous improvements in bilateral ties ever since. At the same time, Vietnam's economic activities in the South China Sea and China's responses have intensified bilateral rivalry and put their ties under considerable strains.The book goes on to argue that Doi Moi has indeed brought Vietnam newfound opportunities to develop a multi-level Omni-directional hedging strategy against China. Finally, the book concludes by looking at the prospects of democratization in both countries and assessing the future trajectory of their relations under such circumstances. As the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of Vietnam's relations with China over the past thirty years, the book is a useful reference source for academics, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in contemporary Vietnam foreign policy in general and Vietnam-China relations in particular
