The Politics of State Sector Reforms in Vietnam: Contested Agendas and Uncertain Trajectories
分析了1997年亚洲金融危机后越南经济改革(doi moi)的内部争论,指出新自由主义改革被调整以巩固国家权威并适应国家-商业联盟的新混合形态。
The 1997 Asian financial crisis and subsequent impact on Vietnam's economy reignited a decade-old internal debate over economic reforms (doi moi). Heralded by many as a success story, the pace of doi moi was the cause of sharp conflicts within the ruling party as the IMF prescribed speeding up the process. At first glance it seemed that neo-liberalism was triumphant. However, this article argues that we need to take a closer look at the content and meaning of 'reform' in the Vietnamese context. Neo-liberal reforms were modified to ensure they consolidated rather than unravelled the authority of the Vietnamese state and to accommodate the new hybrids of state-business alliances.
