Perils of DominanceImbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam: Imbalance of power and the road to war in Vietnam
This book offers an interpretation of how and why the United States went to war in Vietnam. It provides a challenge to the prevailing explanation that U.S. officials adhered blindly to a Cold War doctrine that loss of Vietnam would cause a “domino effect” leading to communist domination of the area. The book presents compelling evidence that U.S. policy decisions on Vietnam from 1954 to mid-1965 were shaped by an overwhelming imbalance of militar…

Gareth Porter presents compelling evidence that U.S. policy decisions on Vietnam from 1954 to mid-1965 wer…

Resources, Population, and the Philippines' Future: A Case Study
Land in the Philippines has at least an 18% slope which with the expanding depletion of its forests makes it vulnerable to soil erosion.

Vietnam's Ethnic Chinese and the Sino-Vietnamese conflict
The massive exodus of ethnic Chinese from Vietnam to China in 1978 and to Southeast Asia by boat in 1979 seemed to the outside world explainable only in terms of racist policies toward an ethnic minority paralleling the Nazi policy toward the Jews. But Vietnamese policy toward the ethnic Chinese them-selves can be understood only in the context of the development of the Sino-Vietnamese conflict. While racism toward the Hoa in the form of resentme…

Yet the two Koreas have adapted to these changes without yieldin…

Hanoi's Strategic Perspective and the Sino-Vietnamese Conflict
S INCE JANUARY 1979, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has been beset by pressures which have appeared to many observers to be irresistible. While a hostile China threatens its northern border and supports insurgents in Laos, Kampuchea, and Vietnam itself, the S.R.V. is almost totally dependent economically on the Soviet bloc and is unable to obtain sufficient capital and technology for its economic development. Already suffering a reduction in t…
