Regional Outlook: Southeast Asia

Denis Hew Wei-Yen

Beyond Hanoi

The first book in English to examine local government and authority in Vietnam since the country's reunification in 1975, this volume includes a daring criticism of Party rule at the local level. It addresses four questions: what local institutions and offices have authority to govern; who are the local officials and how do they get their positions; what do local governments do and whose interests do they serve; and what do residents say about local officials and governing institutions? Based on in-depth research, six chapters emphasize particular villages and districts in different parts of the country: one examines a ward in Hanoi, another focuses on Ho Chi Minh City, and one compares leaders in several provinces. To contextualize conditions opening chapter synthesizes the findings in this book with those in other studies by researchers inside and outside Vietnam.

Current critical thinking on regions outside the West appear to be motivated by the limitations of Western discourse in comprehending the variation of human experiences and paths of modernity. This book represents part of the effort to decentre and diversify the future of area studies in the current politics of knowledge production. It presents dilemmas encountered by Southeast Asian intellectuals and their ethical recourse as they respond to the critique of area studies and political-economic and cultural reconfigurations around them.
