Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. David Tran (Cover Design) (illustratore). Copyright © 1999. 344 pp. Solidly bound copy with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Lightly creased cover corners. Synopsis: In narrating his search for his roots, Vietnamese-American and first-time a uthor Pham alternates between two story lines. The first, which begins in w ar-torn Vietnam, chronicles the author's hair-raising escape to the U.S. as an adolescent in 1977 and his family's subsequent and somewhat troubled li fe in California. The second recounts his return to Vietnam almost two deca des later as an Americanized but culturally confused young man. Uncertain i f his trip is a "pilgrimage or a farce," Pham pedals his bike the length of his native country, all the while confronting the guilt he feels as a succ essful Viet-kieu (Vietnamese expatriate) and as a survivor of his older sis ter Chai, whose isolation in America and eventual suicide he did little to prevent. Flipping between the two story lines, Pham elucidates his main dil emma: he's an outsider in both America and VietnamAin the former for being Vietnamese, and the latter for being Viet-kieu. Aside from a weakness for h yphenated compounds like "people- thick" and "passion-rich," Pham's prose is fluid and fast, navigating deftly through time and space. Wonderful passag es describe the magical qualities of catfish stew, the gruesome preparation of "gaping fish" (a fish is seared briefly in oil with its head sticking o ut, but is supposedly still alive when served), the furious flow of traffic in Ho Chi Minh City and his exasperating confrontations with gangsters, dr unken soldiers and corrupt bureaucrats. In writing a sensitive, revealing b ook about cultural identity, Pham also succeeds in creating an exciting adv enture story.

Paperback. Condizione: New. After a half century of significant economic success, countries in developing East Asia face an array of challenges. Slowing productivity growth, increasing fragility of the global trading system, and rapid changes in technology are threatening the region's engine of growth: export-oriented labor-intensive manufacturing. Longer-term demographic and climate change, and the current COVID-19 pandemic, are increasing economic vulnerability. These developments raise questions about whether the past model of economic success can continue to deliver rapid growth and poverty reduction. Against this background, To the Frontier and Beyond examines the role of innovation in fostering future economic progress in developing East Asia. The report suggests policy and institutional reforms for innovation-led growth in the region.

Couverture souple. Condizione: Comme neuf. Broché, 406 pages. 17x24 cm. Très bon état , proche du neuf. A PROPOS : En juillet 1954, un accord signé à Genève confirme le retrait français du Vietnam, établit un plan pour décider de la forme des États qui remplaceront l'Indochine coloniale, faisant naître l'espoir que la paix allait s'installer dans cette partie du monde. Il n'en fut rien. La lutte pour l'Indochine se poursuivit aux niveaux local, régional et international, à tel point qu'une deuxième conférence (Genève, 1961 - 1962) s'ouvrit pour régler une nouvelle crise. Rien ne fut réglé : l'Indochine devait demeurer, jusqu'en 1991, un foyer de guerres dans le système international. Des milliers d'ouvrages ont été écrits sur les guerres d'Indochine, mais les tentatives de résoudre les conflits indochinois par la paix ont généré beaucoup moins d'intérêt, alors que cette période charnière située entre 1954 et 1962 est essentielle afin de comprendre les raisons pour lesquelles l'Indochine est restée lieu et objet de tensions dans le système international et pourquoi la paix fut un échec. Ce travail collectif est également l'occasion d'étudier comment le système international générait des imbrications, transversale entre l'Est et l'Ouest, et verticale entre le Nord et le Sud.
