Law and Society in Vietnam - The Transition from Socialism in Comparative Perspective (Hardcover)

A unique analysis of the transformation of law in one of Asia's most dynamic and vibrant nations - a socialist state that is now seeking to build a market economy while struggling to pursue an ethos of social quality and opportunity. Covering a wide range of issues, including the changing role of constitutions and constitutionalism in a rapidly transforming state, the uses and development of economic law, the use of law to control state authority and wrongful governmental behavior, the emergence of public interest law and the use of law to strengthen social equality and civil rights, the growing role of non-governmental organizations and their regulation by the government, the changing role of lawyers, and the role of foreign donors in this legal reform process. Comparisons are made to parallel developments in another transforming socialist state, the People's Republic of China
