Doi Moi in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft

Más información sobre el libro

Doi Moi (Renovation) has been the guiding principle for Vietnam's economic and social transformation since 1986. In response to a severe economic crisis, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the reforms in China, Vietnam's communist leadership opted for a path of controlled liberalization. After 15 years, it is essential to assess the outcomes of Doi Moi. This collection of articles analyzes the profound economic, social, and institutional changes in Vietnam, highlighting how traditional cultural elements have been revitalized and integrated into new frameworks. The Asian crisis significantly impacted Vietnam's transition, raising questions about the future direction of reforms and the possibility of a Doi Moi II. The volume includes contributions on various topics, such as the transformation of agricultural cooperatives, improving the bankability of small farmers, agrarian changes in Black Thai villages, and the impact of globalization on ethnicity in Vietnam. It also explores social capital formation, the role of private entrepreneurs, and the experiences of young traders in Hanoi. Additionally, it addresses nostalgia among women workers in state-owned textile factories and the challenges posed by the internet. The collection concludes with discussions on the Asian crisis, the post-Washington Consensus, and the future of Doi Moi.
