International Consultant, World Bank, Lecturer and Writer, Hanoi

Successful development (at least in Viet Nam) has been largely a matter of harnessing societal culture and thus is not easily transferable to other cultures. This of course has implications for western prescriptions in general, but perhaps also for eastern prescriptions in Africa.
Mel Blunt will also draw some distinctions between the Vietnamese and the Chinese ways of development with resulting effects on the equity of development.
