Description

This book is a collection of some of Sidel's earlier articles updated to reflect the most recent developments around the rule of law in Vietnam. This book is not merely a recitation of laws and problems with law enforcement, but rather highlights the trends in Vietnamese views on law. He traces the debate over constitutionalism in great detail, referencing the key Communist Party members, conferences, and newspaper articles. His example of the debate over the constitutionality of banning motorcycle alone is fascinating as it combines law with a real understanding of social attitudes in Vietnam. Highly recommended for understanding the state of rule of law in Vietnam
