Book excerpt: This study is designed to examine Vietnam's attempts to reform its economic and legal system in order to accelerate its economic development and the challenges it is facing as a result of its membership of the WTO. The thesis revolves around the following central research question: How has the Vietnamese legal system responded to the challenges brought about by modernisation driven by this country's membership of the WTO and what improvements are needed in its legal system to ensure that this agenda of modernisation is reconciled with the needs of its people as well as with the demands of the international trade and the intellectual property protection agenda. After a long period of negotiations Vietnam became the 150th WTO member on 11th January 2007. Like China, Vietnam has also been pursuing a policy of economic liberalization since 1986 while maintaining a socialist political system. On the road to economic development and prosperity for the people, Vietnam accepted many new obligations resulting from its WTO membership. Consequently, the country is now going through a period of breathtaking changes not only in transforming the economy but also all aspects of its legal system. By joining the WTO, Vietnam represents a unique case of an attempt to reform a centrally planned economy in order to transform itself into a system which was supposed to be compliant with the multi-lateral trading system led by the WTO, and based on the values of capitalism. The economic and legal transformation that Vietnam is going through as a result of membership to the WTO, and the nature and scope of obligations that Vietnam was required to undertake to become a member of this world trade body, makes a fascinating case for study. While still maintaining a single party political system, a huge transformation has been carried out in the legal framework of Vietnam in the past 20 to 25 years to bring the Vietnamese legal system up to the international legal standards expected by foreign trades and investors interested in doing business with and in Vietnam. Vietnam has finished its first few years with the WTO "machine" in operation and this country is now trying to progress with the same speed as with other WTO members. In order to deal with the challenges and to gain from the opportunities arising from its WTO membership appropriately, Vietnam is launching plenty of new initiatives in socio-economic policies and in the national legal system as well. However, the country is still facing many challenges concerning the integration of the main principles of international trade and economic law into a socialist legal system. It is in this context that this thesis examines the process of reform, its weaknesses and strengths, the merits and demerits of Vietnam's membership of the WTO with particular reference to the obligations arising from the international intellectual property regime, and proposes a set of recommendations designed to better equip Vietnam to deal with the challenges ahead. The focus is on the strengths and weaknesses of various reform programmes undertaken by the country and the lacunae that still exist in its legal system.

Download or read book Recently Acceded Members of the World Trade Organization written by Kenji Takamiya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book sheds light on trade policies of developing economies that joined the multilateral trading system after establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, once known as the recently acceded members (RAMs). Its detailed case studies on Georgia, the People’s Republic of China, Viet Nam and Ecuador examine their engagement in accession and Doha Round negotiations and, where relevant, dispute settlement at the WTO. Using the economic theories of trade agreements and negotiations as a guide for intellectual inquiries, this book assesses motivations accounting for the RAMs’ evolving behaviors in the multilateral trading system. The first two chapters present background and overview, followed by four chapters on country-specific case studies. The book is concluded with the last chapter that provides one possible explanation of why the Doha Round has been faced with deadlocks while accession and dispute settlement have been working effectively.

Download or read book How Does Vietnam s Accession to the World Trade Organization Change the Spatial Incidence of Poverty written by Tomoki Fujii and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade policies can promote aggregate efficiency, but the ensuing structural adjustments generally create both winners and losers. From an incomes perspective, trade liberalization can raise gross domestic product per capita, but rates of emergence from poverty depend on individual household characteristics of economic participation and asset holding. To fully realize the growth potential of trade, while limiting the risk of rising inequality, policies need to better account for microeconomic heterogeneity. One approach to this is geographic targeting that shifts resources to poor areas. This study combines an integrated microsimulation-computable general equilibrium model with small area estimation to evaluate the spatial incidence of Vietnam's accession to the World Trade Organization. Provincial-level poverty reduction after full liberalization was heterogeneous, ranging from 2.2 percent to 14.3 percent. Full liberalization will benefit the poor on a national basis, but the northwestern area of Vietnam is likely to lag behind. Furthermore, poverty can be shown to increase under comparable scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Trade Organization (WTO) recently celebrated twenty years of existence. The general wisdom is that its dispute settlement institutions work well and its negotiation machinery goes through a phase of prolonged crises. Assessing the World Trade Organization overcomes this myopic view and takes stock of the WTO's achievements whilst going beyond existing disciplinary narratives. With chapters written by scholars who have closely observed the development of the WTO in recent years, this book presents the state of the art in thinking about WTO performance. It also considers important issues such as the origins of the multilateral system, the accession process and the WTO's interaction with other international organisations. The contributions shed new light on untold stories, critically review and present existing scholarship, and sketch new research avenues for a future generation of trade scholars. This book will appeal to a wide audience that aims to better understand the drivers and obstacles of WTO performance.
