Vietnam: Dawn of a New Market [Hardcover]

Geoffrey Murray (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1997 | ISBN-10: 0312173903 | ISBN-13: 978-0312173906

Vietnam: Dawn of a New Market is the third in a series by Geoffrey Murray on some of the key emerging economies of Pacific Asia (he has also treated China and Singapore) and is intended to be used both as a practical handbook in business planning and strategy, and as a socio-economic overview of the new Vietnam that will interest a wide audience. The pace of change in the post-war era, especially the last ten years, is widely viewed by Western observers as an astonishing achievement, and could continue well into the millennium - given the various reservations the author addresses during the course of this study. Hence the detailed evaluation of the so-called 'recovery' since the Vietnam War (in industrial, economic, political and social terms), in order to better judge the prospects of long-term economic growth and the viability of identified opportunities for international investment.

This review is from: Vietnam: Dawn of a New Market (Hardcover)

I used this book as a reference for a paper I wrote about recent economic and political reforms in Vietnam (the full text of which can be found on my web site). I found it invaluable. It provides a good, though overly optimistic, account of reform since the mid 80's. The author takes the reader through the changes made under the "doi moi" reform program through to economic progress of the mid 90's.

Though published in 1997, the research seems to have ended in 1995 and so it is a bit out-dated. But it is still a useful, easy read for anyone who wants to know how Vietnam has been changing over the past decade.
