		Vietnam's economy is growing at more than 7% per year, but some analysts argue it could grow much faster if more state industries were privatised and restrictive rules and regulations were removed.
		They also experienced the crisis which forced Vietnam to open up to the world and recognise that, even for a communist state, international economic integration is now the only alternative to the isolation suffered by North Korea or the underdevelopment endured by neighbouring Laos.
		Politics in Vietnam is driven by consensus, and it is the Communist Party which forms that consensus and the government which implements its policies.

	American Politics Journal -- Another Vietnam
		The exhibit is called "Another Vietnam," and it's comprised of combat and home front photographs made by members of the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong-those combatants our troops referred to variously as Charlie, Charles, Chuck, Victor Charles, VC, slopes, dinks and gooks.
		The idea behind the exhibit is not, as some conservatives might be tempted to conclude without seeing the exhibit or reading the extraordinary publication based on it, to denigrate America's war effort or extol the virtue of "Commies." Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth.
		If nothing else, it might serve as a much needed cautionary tale, and a reminder of the one valuable lesson that was learned from Vietnam: it was a horrible, tragic, terrible, godawful mistake that was begun on a fake pretext (Gulf of Tonkin "incident") and compounded across four presidential administrations (Republican and Democratic).

		The size of the popular vote and the inability of the Vietcong to destroy the election machinery were the two salient facts in a preliminary assessment of the nation election based on the incomplete returns reaching here.
		Usually when someone quotes a decades-old news story that appears to have particularly detailed relevance to a current political issue, the article is not a genuine old news item but a piece of modern satire.
		The fact that the backing of the electorate has gone to the generals who have ruling South Vietnam for the last two years does not, in the Administration's view, diminish the significance of the constitutional step that has been taken.

		Marxist-Leninism is studied theoretically as a compulsory element of the curriculum both at school and further education levels, and applied practically in the Ho Chi Minh Youth Union in the form of collective enterprise and contributions to civic welfare.
		However, today’s Party politics is far from the doctrinaire polices of the past in Vietnam, and the present in countries like North Korea.
		The long-term aim of the Party and the overwhelming majority of the population is not to plunge headlong into capitalism, but to become the first orthodox communist state to make the transition to a modern socialist system of government without social chaos, bloodshed or a revolution.
