Westmoreland, Commander, U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, 1966 What Westmoreland and his contemporaries living in Vietnam had already recognized in 1966, few in Washington chose to fully engage. U.S. nation building efforts in Vietnam focused on the countryside by securing hamlets or promoting the growth of more hearty rice crops, but the practice of side-stepping urban problems, where the majority of U.S. troops serving in- country lived and worked among civilians, allowed economic inflation, corruption, and the sex trade to flourish. Westmoreland’s comment came during Senator J. William Fulbright’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearings on the legitimacy of the war in Vietnam, and only days after the titillating accusation from the Senator that Saigon was “both figuratively and literally an American brothel.”2 The Whitehouse quickly swept the issue aside as an irrelevant distraction. Sex, they felt along with many other Americans, was just a part of war. They failed to recognize in those early days, however, that sexual politics wove into many aspects of society upsetting traditional social and power boundaries, as well as disrupting political relations.

  • New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang
    New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Irene Bloemraad Professor Peter Zinoman Fall 2011 New Economies of Sex and Intimacy Copyright 2011 by Kimberly Kay Hoang Abstract New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Over the past two decades, scholars have paid particular attention to the growth of global sex tourism, a trade marked by convergence between the global and local production and consumption of sexual services. In the increasingly global economy, the movement of people and capital around the world creates new segments of sex work, with diverse groups of consumers and providers. This dissertation examines the dialectical link between intimacy and political economy. I examine how changes in the global economy structure relations of intimacy between clients and sex workers; and how intimacy can be a vital form of currency that shapes economic and political relations. I trace new economies of sex and intimacy in Vietnam by moving from daily worlds of sex work in Ho Chi Minh City [HCMC] to incorporate a more structural and historical analysis. Drawing on 15 months of ethnography (2009-2010) working as a bartender and hostess I analyze four different bars that cater to wealthy local Vietnamese men and their Asian business partners, overseas Vietnamese men living in the diaspora, Western expatriates, and Western budget travelers.

  • The Vietnam-US-China Triangle: New Dynamics and Implications
    ISSUE: 2015 NO.45 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 25 August 2015 The Vietnam-US-China Triangle: New Dynamics and Implications Le Hong Hiep* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent visit to Washington by Nguyen Phu Trong, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), may have been praised by both sides as a “historic” landmark in bilateral relations, but in order to gain a more nuanced evaluation of the event, the broader regional context, including recent developments in Vietnam- China and US-China relations, needs to be considered. New dynamics in the Vietnam-US-China relations suggest that, at least in the short run, Vietnam’s relations with the US will continue to improve, while its relations with China will suffer significant setbacks. At the systemic level, intensified strategic competition between China and the US makes Vietnam a natural target for both powers’ diplomatic manoeuvres. However, due to the South China Sea disputes, Ha Noi is more receptive to a stronger relationship with Washington. At the national level, while the mutual trust between Vietnam and the US has been enhanced in recent years, Vietnam-China relations have been suffering from a burgeoning trust deficit. The fact that national interests have replaced ideological consderations as the key determinant of Vietnam’s foreign policy also tends to favour Washington at the expense of Beijing. Vietnam’s domestic economic and political conditions, such as deepening economic ties with the US and rising anti-China sentiments, are also conducive to improvements in Vietnam-US relations while unfavourable for Ha Noi’s ties with Beijing.

  • Expanding Capabilities
    August 2013 Report Expanding capabilities How adolescent Khmer girls in Viet Nam are learning to juggle filial piety, educational ambition (and Facebook) Nicola Jones, Elizabeth Presler-Marshall and Tran Thi Van Anh with James Hamilton Harding Informed by the longstanding consensus that women play a unique role in consolidating development gains in the next generation – and building on the emerging understanding that adolescence, because it is a critical period in terms of capacity development, presents a unique opportunity to alter life trajectories – this report explores Khmer adolescent girls’ understanding of the role that gendered social norms play in shaping both their current wellbeing and the realisation of their future capabilities. Part of a larger multi-country programme of research in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, this study draws on qualitative and participatory research methodologies to assess the key threats to gender justice facing Khmer adolescent girls living in Viet Nam’s Mekong Delta region – and the types of programme and policy responses they believe would enhance the realisation of their full capabilities.
