    Abstract

    The terminal crisis of state-socialism involves the erosion of one welfare regime and itsreplacement with another. Among formerly state-socialist countries, Viet Nam and Chinaare frequently lumped together as instances of ‘gradual’ market transitions. Perhaps themost essential shared feature of market transition in these countries was the ability ofLeninist states to survive the erosion of state socialist economic institutions and toemploy markets to promote state goals, including the political supremacy of thecommunist party. The way this occurred in Viet Nam and China differed, however, whichin turn affected the subsequent development of the countries’ respective welfare regimes.
