April 25thChallenges to Vietnam's Open Door Economic Policy
Complimentary Seating is now closed for Harvard alumns - you may go to Asia Society website and purcahse seats.Thomas J. Vallely speaks at Asia Society on April 25th. Vallely will discuss Vietnam's future and the implications of a coming changing of the guard as a generation of new leaders emerges, many of whom were educated abroad and feel more comfortable in an open marketplace.
In the mid-1980s Vietnam introduced doi moi, an "open door" market-oriented policy. It has been on the rise ever since, with one of Asia's fastest-growing economies. But undeveloped infrastructure, a maze of bureaucracy, corruption, and a poorly qualified workforce pose major challenges to Vietnam's economic future, says Thomas J. Vallely, director of the Vietnam Program at Harvard University.
Sincerely,
Julia Bailey
