About this book

Vietnam's political development has entered an extraordinary, if indeterminate, phase. Comprising contributions from leading Vietnam scholars, this volume comprehensively explores the core aspects of Vietnam's politics, providing a cutting-edge analysis of politics in one of East Asia's least understood countries.

Reviews

“Politics in Contemporary Vietnam is a most welcome contribution towards better fathoming the changes the country is undergoing. All of the chapters contribute towards a better understanding of Vietnamese politics, although in quite different ways. … the chapters in this volume complement each other nicely and together form a strong contribution to the field.” (Arve Hansen, Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 46 (1), 2016)
