Call No: Law Casebook
Publication Date: 2008
This book is a unique analysis of the struggle to build a rule of law in one of the world's most dynamic and vibrant nations - a socialist state that is seeking to build a market economy while struggling to pursue an ethos of social equality and opportunity. It addresses constitutional change, the assertion of constitutional claims by citizens, the formation of a strong civil society and non-profit sector, the emergence of economic law, and the battles over who is benefited by the economic regulation, labor law, and the protection of migrant and export labor, the rise of lawyers and public interest law, and other key topics. Alongside other countries, comparisons are made to parallel developments in another transforming socialist state, the People's Republic of China.

This book details inheritance and succession in Vietnam.

This book focuses on the legal systems of the late-developing countries of ASEAN (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, often referred to as the CLMV countries).

In the post-Soviet era, there are only five socialist/communist regimes left in the world. However, there is little writing that considers these regime structures and the role constitutionalism plays in maintenance and development of the state and institutions of these countries. This book examines the effects of change across these constitutions.
