This book argues that more might be achieved sooner, in terms of governance reform and anti-corruption initiatives in Asia, by a much better understanding of the political, legal, commercial, and social dynamics in certain countries.The book is divided into three parts. The first, "Frameworks," establishes some theoretical approaches to the problem of corruption and governance (including a East European example). The second part and third parts look at case studies of Indonesia and Vietnam, two very different Asian states: one (Vietnam) still socialist but in difficult transition from command economy to a limited market structure; the other (Indonesia) embracing a market economy and an emerging democratic system; one with a Confucian legal and political tradition, the other not; one with a socialist, the other a civil law, legal system. Relevant legislation and judicial decisions can be found in the table of cases and a detailed glossary and list of abbreviations will assist readers.
