Reflections on a Quest for Social Science Data in Vietnam

Author(s): Tsang, Daniel C | Abstract: In 2004, as Vietnam moves toward entry into the World Trade Organization, and its economic system becomes more mixed, social science research data can be expected to play an increasingly important role for scholars interested in understanding and analyzing Vietnamese society, as well as for policymakers within Vietnam and those in the United States and elsewhere. This article addresses the social science data situation in 2004 during the authors stay in Vietnam as a Fulbright Research Scholar.
