Book excerpt: On December 8, 2006, the House passed legislation (212-184) to grant Vietnam permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) status as part of a more comprehensive trade bill (H.R. 6406). Pursuant to H.Res. 1100, the bill was then coupled with a taxextension bill (H.R. 6111) and sent to the Senate. The Senate passed the combined bills on December 8 (79-9). On December 20, 2006, President Bush signed the bill into law (P.L.109-432) and, per the law, proclaimed PNTR for Vietnam on December 29, 2006. Congress considered PNTR in the context of Vietnam's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which Vietnam joined in January 2007. Although Congress had no direct role in Vietnam's accession to the WTO, congressional approval was necessary for the President to extend PNTR to Vietnam. The WTO requires its members to extend unconditional most-favored-nation status (MFN), called PNTR in the United States, in order to receive the full benefits of WTO membership in their bilateral trade relations. Until PNTR was granted, the United States had extended conditional NTR treatment to Vietnam under Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, which includes the so-called Jackson-Vanik amendment (section 402). Title IV prohibits the President from granting certain countries permanent NTR unless the country has met certain conditions. Vietnam's entry into the WTO does not establish any new obligations on the part of the United States, only on the part of Vietnam. However, Vietnam's WTO accession requires the United States and Vietnam to adhere to WTO rules in their bilateral trade relations, including not imposing unilateral measures, such as quotas on textile imports, that have not been sanctioned by the WTO. Accession to the WTO affords Vietnam the protection of the multilateral system of rules in its trade relations with other WTO members, including the United States. It could help the United States in that Vietnam would be obligated to apply WTO rules in its trade. PNTR status from the United States provides Vietnam more predictability its growing trade relations with the United States and sheds a legacy of the cold war. For the United States, PNTR is another in a series of steps the United States has taken in trade and foreign policy to normalize relations with Vietnam and place distance between current relations and the Vietnam War. During the congressional debate on PNTR, Members raised issues regarding the conditions for Vietnam's entry into the WTO, other issues pertaining to the U.S.Vietnam economic relationship, and other aspects of the overall U.S.-Vietnam relationship.

Book excerpt: During the past thirty years, Vietnam has evolved from a closed, Communist/socialist state with little respect for the rule of law - or lawyers - to a still-socialist state but one which is increasingly driven by market forces, global competition, and development of a well-functioning and predictable legal system. The article traces this process from the end of the Vietnam War, through the initial economic opening under quot;Doi Moi,quot; to negotiation of the bilateral trade agreement with the United States and, finally, to the WTO accession process. In each instance, emphasis is placed on the growing role that the law and lawyers have played in a remarkable embrace of globalization.

Download or read book Vietnam s Foreign Policy under Doi Moi written by Le Hong Hiep and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) adopted the Doi Moi (Renovation) policy at its sixth national congress, opening up a new chapter in the country's modern history. Under Doi Moi, Vietnam has undergone significant socio-economic, political and foreign policy reforms that have transformed the country in many meaningful ways. This edited volume aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the multiple aspects and transformations of Vietnam's foreign policy over the past thirty years. The book is divided into three sections. The first covers the broader framework of Vietnam's foreign policy making and the historical evolution of Vietnam's diplomacy under Doi Moi. The second examines Vietnam's bilateral relationships with its major partners, namely the United States, China, Japan, India, Russia, its smaller neighbours (Cambodia and Laos), and ASEAN. Finally, the book looks into two major issues in Vietnam's current foreign policy: the management of the South China Sea disputes and the international economic integration process. As the most informative, updated and comprehensive volume on Vietnam's foreign policy under Doi Moi, the book is a useful reference for academics, policymakers and students, as well as anyone interested in contemporary Vietnam in general and its foreign policy in particular.

Download or read book Alliance Decision Making in the South China Sea written by Joseph A. Gagliano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of rising Chinese power and longstanding territorial disputes has drawn increased attention and threats to the Asia-Pacific region. Five smaller powers contest Beijing’s claims; Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei and Indonesia, with the United States viewed as the most likely counterbalance to coercive behavior towards them. However, only one of these five states - the Philippines -has maintained a guarantee of protection through alliance with the US. What factors have influenced state decisions to form security relationships with Washington, and what does the evolution of these factors portend for future security relationships in the South China Sea? Using research on U.S. policy preferences based on recently declassified material, this book produces conclusions previously inaccessible beyond classified forums. The author surveys recent alliance theory developments to examine relationships between claimant states and the US, explores historical bilateral relations and considers the future of regional security relationships. This book contributes to the fields of security studies, foreign policy and international relations and expands beyond traditional concepts of defense alliances to explore security cooperation along a spectrum from allied to aligned to non-aligned.

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 365 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.
