Highly recommend WB’s working paper ” Making difficult choices: Vietnam in transition” http://www.growthcommission.org/storage/cgdev/documents/gcwp040bilingualweb.pdf if you want to have further understanding on how change happen in VN 😉

Who is involved? What roles do they play? How is it financed? What issues are prioritized and how? What feedback loops are the most effective?

It may be correct that the hardest questions in the Assembly come from the business sector. But the hardest questions for the Party are coming through the media.

Duncan: Fair point Ben, I guess this post is starting from the position that Communist Party rule is a given in Vietnam for the foreseeable future, yet in recent decades, rapid changes have taken place in the country. I’m trying to understand how that happens.
