Arguing that an understanding of the similarities and differences among communist countries provides valuable insights into their momentous transformations, this comprehensive volume compares recent changes in China and Vietnam. Exploring the economic, political, and social effects of reform programs, the chapters pair leading Vietnam and China scholars in a genuinely comparative analysis. Finding similarities-and unexpected differences-the authors conclude that Vietnam often has forged its own path rather than following the Chinese model.

Industry Reviews

A wonderfully successful effort at collaboration that not only fulfills its methodological goals, but which is full of insights... This is an extremely worthwhile book that specialists and teachers alike will find very useful. I recommend it highly. Journal of Asian Studies As a comparative reader, the book has much to offer in the way of content. Each chapter covers a particular aspect of the transitions in China and Vietnam, in which certain leitmotifs stand out across essays. China Review International
