Malesky vs. Fforde
The article explores different ways of thinking about Vietnamese politics through an examination of the writing of Adam Fforde and Edmund Malesky. It argues that in order to adjudicate between different approaches to analysing Vietnamese politics, we need to come to a view about what we think politics actually is (i.e., ontology forms the basis on which we can answer questions about epistemology). This is very different from more positivist appro…

The Myth of a Centralised Socialist State in Vietnam
Through a case study of Vietnam, the article explores the view that there is a tendency to overstate the degree to which there is a coherent central body, namely the state, directing the country. Exploring this myth, it argues that there is a tendency to reify the state, even in writing which is attentive to localism and the diversity of societal actors at play in Vietnamese political life. The article argues that the myth of the central state en…

Southeast Asia
Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos share a number of similarities: All three countries are former colonies of France located next to one another on the Southeast Asian mainland; all three witnessed the rise of communist parties to nationwide power in the mid-1970s; and all three have also seen fast-rising economic growth and falling poverty since the 1990s, and are viewed as undergoing a process of "reform" involving a shift from central planning to a m…
Vietnam
Vietnam: Rethinking the State offers an exciting and up-to-date look at the politics of this fascinating country as it seeks to make the transition from war-torn economic backwater to a dynamic and modern society. The book argues for a move away from the commonly associated idea of 'reform', arguing for a deeper understanding of the concept and questioning the idea of state-retreat. The result is a path-breaking book which gets beneath the surfac…
Present but not Powerful
Through a case study of Vietnam, this paper explores what happens to neoliberal ideas about development when they encounter the very different political and cultural context of a developing country. The paper argues that although much scholarship tends implicitly or explicitly to emphasise the very great power of neoliberal institutions in our world today, an analysis of continuity and change in Vietnam during two decades of extensive engagement …
Privatisation as State Advance
The (Neglected) Statist Bias and the Developmental State
This paper highlights three key weaknesses with the developmental state as a theory of the state. First, that the theory imagines the state in Weberian terms and then seeks to judge all states—even ones which are not Weberian—according to Weberian yardsticks which are not universal. Second, that the theory underestimates the extent to which it is itself bound up with dominant global power structures associated with the Cold War and the post-cold …
"From Patronage to "Outcomes
The article offers a revisionist approach to assessing the significance of Communist Party congresses in Vietnam. Analysis to date has focused on the presumed policy significance of a particular congress. The article argues that much more important than policy are outcomes, or what actually happens on the ground. Consequently, it is suggested that a more fruitful way to assess the significance of Vietnam's congresses is to view them first and for…
Globalisation and the state revisited
The article considers the changing nature of the state in an era of globalisation, exploring the impact on the state of changes in cross-border flows and the rise of private and transnational actors. Presenting data from two Vietnamese border provinces, the article paints a picture of a relatively powerful state, which appears to be extending its reach in some areas. Asking how we reconcile this with increased cross-border flows and the rise of p…

Changing Political Economy of Vietnam
This book explores the way in which the state has become commercialised under reform as party and government officials have gone into business and considers the impact that this has had on politics within Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. The book charts the way in which power has been decentralised to the lower levels of the party-state but argues that the central state retains significant power. These issues are explored through a variety of case stu…
Slow, quick, quick
In the late 1990s the number of companies completing equitization procedures in Vietnam’s partial privatization programme (equitization) suddenly accelerated, after proceeding at a snail’s pace until then. A key reason was an unwillingness on the part of political and business interests associated with state enterprises to do anything that would remove them from what they regarded as the ‘best space’ for doing business, which until the late 1990s…

Vietnam and Asean
Beneath the veneer of reform
Scholars working on transition countries are generally more hesitant than they used to be about using the term ‘reformer’. However, few scholars have explored why the term may be unhelpful or what the consequences are if we jettison it for how we think about reform. Such issues form the central focus of the paper. Looking at Vietnam’s second city and business centre, Ho Chi Minh City, the paper argues that the main problem with identifying politi…
