Abstract
ABSTRACT Although the Vietnamese Communist Party survives, its image is tainted with contrasted histories. Can the country's economic growth be maintained under its leadership? The Party has recognized some of its errors: total collectivitization from 1975 to 1986, the brutal take over of the South, the decade of occupation in Cambodia. But the Party has its assets. It has somewhat resolved the land issues, ensured peace in a reunified country, and replaced its legitimacy of liberation with the new legitimacy of development. However, it is still confronted with the problems of a sole party: its limits to political openess in the political decision making process and in the planning of state reforms. In spite of those limits, the reforms continue as confirmed by the World Bank. The Party seems to maintain enough vitality to prove its more or less optimistic scenarios of growth and is likely to lead the nation's development for some more years.
