Over nearly three decades since China applied its open-door policy (1978), and more than twenty years since Vietnam performed an economic renewal (1986), issues relating to ownership and sustainable development seem never cooled down in the two countries.
Although each period sees a different manisfestation of those issues, the common pattern is that at the beginning the transition from purely public ownership to multi-ownership aroused much more heated debates in theory than the later period when each type of ownership has proved its advantages and the market economy has been operating widely.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, a series of socio-economic and environmental problems have been accumulated and become serious. A number of questions relating to sustainable development need sound answers. Many ideas and suggestions have been given, but to some problems, not all.
This book (in Vietnamese and Chinese) is a collection of writings and speeches of several Vietnamese and Chinese scientists in two big conferences held in each country in terms of ownership and sustainable development .in the modern era by Vietnam’s Institute of Philosophy - Institute of Social Sciences in collaboration with China’s Institute of Social Sciences in 10/2004 and 9/2006.
