 note = {application/pdf, IDP000189_001, In spite of the difficulties incurred by its people, Cuba has maintained a centrally
planned economy with single party system. On the contrary, Vietnam has
introduced a market economy under communist rule, and succeeded in generally
improving living standards. The factors that contributed to the introduction of
Vietnamese-style reforms are (1) severe economic crisis, (2) demonstration effects
from neighboring countries, (3) poor social policy, (4) initiatives by ex-conservative
leader/s, and (5) weak state capacity. The conditions to sustain high economic
growth are (1) social sectors familiar with capitalist economics, (2) abundant labor
forces with relatively low labor cost, and (3) investment by exiles. This paper
analyzes to what extent Cuba meets these conditions.},
