"Dragons with Clay Feet? presents state-of-the-art research on the impact of ongoing economic policy and institutional reforms on agricultural development and the sustainability of rural resources in two East Asian transitioning (and developing) economies-China and Vietnam. The contributions to this volume focus on the regional and sectoral impact of transformational policies, farm household decision making under a changing economic and institutional environment, and potential trade-offs between agricultural growth and sustainable land management in the two countries. The analysis of household responses to changing economic policies, and their implications for agricultural production and sustainable resource use in East Asian transition economies is a relatively new research field. This collection by Chinese, Vietnamese, and international researchers reflects the rapid progress that is being made in this important research. Book jacket."--Jacket
