Sources on Vietnam - China Relations and Comparative Studies of Transition

Dear list,
A small number of VSG members are looking to begin a reading group exploring Vietnam-China relationships in the doi moi period and comparative studies of economic and political reform. We all of varying agendas, but they seem to converge on an interest in better understanding the degree to which there has been conversation and interplay between VN and China in terms of developing economic policy, and on various forms of exchange (political, investment) between the two countries over the past decades. None of us are China scholars, so we are groping around a little, and thought that the group may have some ideas on places to begin. Our current, fairly arbitrary, list is pasted below. I'll also circulate any additions to anybody that is interested.
Best,
Jim Delaney

Hi everybody,
Thanks to all for sending in reading suggestions. I've pasted a compiled (and somewhat messy) bibliography below. It can also be found online at http://www.zotero.org/groups/vietnamchina/
We're planning to continue to cultivate the reading list over the coming weeks, so you may want to check back at the weblink later. Also, for those of you who use Zotero (and open source replacement for Endnote), please feel free to join the web-group.
Best, and thanks again,
Jim Delaney
