Technical Analysis of Environmental Information

Deforestation in Viet Nam reports on a innovative and timely study by a team of Vietnamese and Canadian researchers. It presents a labourious historical analysis of the smallest changes affecting soil use, forest cover, population, and political and socioeconomic characteristics. The book concludes with suggestions for future research and emphasizes the importance of examining the problems of natural-resource degradation in their proper local and historical contexts.

World Bank Country Report
World Bank's Vietnam Development Report 2002. Essentially an overview of Vietnam's recent structural reforms and domestic growth prospects, the report is reasonably optimistic about the country's medium-term outlook, noting the ameliorative effects of anticipated reforms, a more stable investment climate, and the impact of the recently completed bilateral trade agreement with the US. This kind of news should be gratifying to the donors as they decide to dig into their wallets once again. It is even more gratifying for Vietnam's citizens.
