Description: The chapters in this volume were first presented as papers in a seminar series developed by Ljunggren while he was a visiting scholar at HIID during the 1990-91 academic year. The papers - by economists, political scientists, anthropologists, journalists, and aid administrators - emphasize human and policy issues concerning Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia since the end of the Second Indochina War in 1975. These three countries have gone through significant and comprehensive market reforms during this period. The authors, all of whom have extensive experience in the region, analyze these market transformations from varying perspectives, including foreign policy, history, gender, macroeconomics, politics, and social issues.
