Publisher Synopsis
Compared with the detailed and extensive western literature about constitutional change in non-socialist Asia, surprisingly little has been written about constitutional issues in Vietnam. In this book Mark Sidel, a renowned legal scholar in Vietnam, has successfully addressed this omission by presenting a rich and absorbing analysis of constitutional change.This book comes highly recommended as a history of constitutional change in Vietnam; it also provides important insights into the future direction of constitutional reform. It will be of use to both legal and Asian studies students and scholars.John GillespieThe Law and Politics Book ReviewJune 27, 2010Covering its history decade by decade, The Constitution of Vietnam proves to be a fascinating and very highly recommended read, an ideal addition to any law or history collection.James A.
