Since China's reform and opening up started in 1978 and Vietnam's
Doi Moi reforms were initiated in 1986, these two East Asian
economies have adopted capitalistic models of development while
retaining and reforming their socialist legal systems along the
way. Tracking the trajectory of socialist laws and their legacy,
this book offers a unique comparison of laws and institutional
designs in China and Vietnam. Leading scholars from China, Vietnam,
Australia and the United States analyze the history, development
and impact of socialist law reforms in these two continuing
socialist states. Readers are offered a varied insight into the
complex quality and unique features of socialist law and why it
should be taken seriously. This is a fresh theoretical approach to,
and internal critique of, socialist laws which demonstrates how
socialist law in China and Vietnam may shape the future of global
legal development among developing countries.
This volume of essays contributes to the understanding of global
law reform by questioning the assumption in law and development
theory that laws fail to transfer because of shortcomings in
project design and implementation. It brings together leading
scholars who demonstrate that a synthesis of law and development,
comparative law and regulatory perspectives (disciplines which to
date have remained intellectually isolated from each other) can
produce a more nuanced understanding about development failures.
Arguing for a refocusing of the analysis onto the social demand for
legal transfers, and drawing on empirically rich case studies,
contributors explore what recipients in developing countries think
about global legal reforms. This analytical focus generates
insights into how key actors in developing countries understand
global law reforms and how to better predict how legal reforms are
likely to play out in recipient countries.

Drugs Law and Legal Practice in Southeast Asia investigates
criminal law and practice relevant to drugs regulation in three
Southeast Asian jurisdictions: Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam.
These jurisdictions represent a spectrum of approaches to drug
regulation in Southeast Asia, highlighting differences in practice
between civil and common law countries, and between liberal and
authoritarian states. This book offers the first major English
language empirical investigation and comparative analysis of
regulation, jurisprudence, court procedure, and practices relating
to drugs law enforcement in these three states.
