Perceptions of Developmental State Theories and Developmental State Mindset in Vietnam

Tóm tắt

There has been a controversy around the theory of the developmental state in general, the developmental state mindset in Vietnam in particular. The debate on the most effective pathway for development has reached somewhat of an impasse, with the two dominant approaches of market-led (neoliberal) development and developmental state approaches still at loggerheads. This paper will bring a brief literature review on developmental state and then analysing some characteristics of the developmental state mindset in Vietnam.
