Unearthing Politics

Environment and Contestation in Post-socialist Vietnam

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines an important socio-political challenge to the ruling party regime in Vietnam. Vietnam has been the subject of substantial controversy and challenge to the Vietnamese party regime since market reform in the 1980s, especially since the controversy over bauxite mining in the late 2000. Using the environmental dimensions of this problem to highlight a confluence of trends disrupting the nation's "encrusted politics", this book open up a space for the in-depth study of the most sensitive issues, bravest activists, and most off limit struggles with the party-state in Vietnam today.

Rezensionen

"The book's detailed insights make it essential for those interested in environmental movements and contentious politics in Vietnam. ... Unearthing Politics remains a must-read for its comprehensive coverage of a pivotal moment in Vietnamese politics and its contribution to the understanding of environmental activism under authoritarian regimes." (Duy D. Trinh, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 97 (3), September, 2024)
