Viet Nam in ASEAN: Regional Integration Process and Challenges

June 20, 2013

This book presents a comprehensive survey of Viet Nam’s trade regime, the commitments to change that regime as a member of ASEAN, and the progress made to date. That progress has been less than might have been hoped for, but it has nevertheless been positive. In forthcoming years, important commitments must become reality. This will be a testing time for Viet Nam, not only with respect to its ASEAN membership, but also in relation to pending membership of the WTO. The ability to liberalize, and to therefore put national interest before those of powerful internal interest groups, will be closely watched by observers both inside and outside Viet Nam.
