This book is the outcome of a comparative survey in China and Vietnam. Until now there has been no such study concerning itself with entrepreneurial strata and the private sector in both those countries. What is more, comparisons of the current developments in the two countries are rare. This study is based on the results of a research project that was supported between 1996 and 1998 by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation). | Private Entrepreneurs in China and Vietnam SOCIAL AND POLITICAL FUNCTIONING OF STRATEGIC GROUPS BRILL CHINA STUDIES BY THOMAS HEBERER PRIVATE ENTREPRENEURS IN CHINA AND VIETNAM CHINA STUDIES Published for the Institute for Chinese Studies UnivereityofOxford EDITORS GLEN DUDBRIDGE FRANK PIEKE VOLUME 4 z6 8
