Description

Vietnam became part of French Indochina in 1887 and did not regain its independence again until after the Vietnam War.

However, despite a relatively peaceful two decades the country experienced little economic growth because of conservative leadership policies.

In an effort to change this stagnation, Vietnamese authorities have committed to economic liberalization and enacted structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven industries. The third edition of this dictionary focuses on the recent changes and leadership of Vietnam while giving due attention to the earlier kingdoms, the period of French Indochina, the wars for liberation, the Vietnam War, and much more.

Hundreds of cross-referenced A to Z dictionary entries are included on political, economic, social and cultural aspects as well as the major cities and geographic features.

This book also contains a chronology and introduction that traces Vietnam's history, as well as a bibliography.
