Abstract:
This volume is the outcome of work done over a two-year period by researchers associated with the Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID). HIID first sent a team to Vietnam in January 1989, with support from the Christopher Reynolds Foundation. Since that time HIID has worked with the Vietnamese government in a number of ways to assist that government to better understand what is entailed in turning a country outward and introducing a market system. As part of that effort, HIID, again with financial and intellectual support from the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, helped arrange two study tours for senior officials in Vietnam to some of the country‘s economically successful neighbors, held seminars on aspects of the transition process, brought many graduate students and visiting scholars to Harvard, and carried out numerous studies on specific topics within Vietnam. Seminars on the Indochina region held at Harvard led to an earlier book on the region edited by Borje Ljunggren entitled The Challenge of Reform in Indochina.
