From the Paper
"Vietnam maintains a fairly even balance of trade with exports of $39.92 billion in 2006 and imports of $39.16 billion (The World Factbook). The industrial and construction sectors make up forty percent of Vietnam's economy. The service industry makes up another thirty-eight percent while agriculture makes up the remaining twenty-two percent. The growth rate of agriculture is slowing while the industrial and construction sectors are experiencing increased growth. Vietnam's economic expansion is large due to the exports of apparel to the United States which increase more than three times in 2003 over 2002. (Vietnam's economic growth accelerates, 2006)."

"Vietnam: Economic Outlook and Future
Following more than a dozen years of economic stagnation, global isolation, and archaic politics, Vietnam is plunging into capitalism, determined to move into participation in the global economy. Vietnam is still one of the poorest countries in the world--the per capita income is only $200 a year (Brooks, 1992, p. 7). The gross national product of its 71.3 million people is only $14.5 billion (World Press Review, 1993). However, trade with the West is growing, and the potential is very great for further development.
Vietnam has considerable resources--undeveloped natural resources, cheap labor force, a pragmatic government, beautiful beaches, more than 68 million consumers, a prime geographic location, and numerous unexplored opportunities. Investors are..."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

Abstract
This paper traces the evolution of the United States' policy toward Vietnam during the administration of President Dwight Eisenhower (January 1953-January 1961) and discusses the factors which shaped that policy and contributed to its ultimate failure. The focus of this paper is on the mind-set and operating assumptions of President Eisenhower and other key members of his national security team and their manifestation in Vietnam policy. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"After Japan occupied military bases and ports in southern Indochina in June 1941, the oil resources of the Dutch East Indies lay exposed. The United States then restricted the export of high octane gasoline to Japan which Fall said "hardened the Japanese Navy's insistence upon an attack on Southeast Asia before its petrol supplies were completely exhausted." According to the historians of the Pentagon Papers, "ambivalence characterized U.S. policy [toward Indochina] during World War II." President Franklin Roosevelt opposed the return of French colonial control over Indochina. On January 24, 1944, FDR said: "France has had that country . . . for nearly one hundred years, and the people are worse off than they were at the beginning." However, Winston Churchill and Charles De Gaulle vigorously opposed FDR's plans to place Indochina under international trusteeship so Indochina's postwar status was left unresolved. In late August 1945, President Harry Truman assured De Gaulle that the United States recognized French sovereignty over Indochina. Truman never replied to letters sent to him by Ho Chi Minh, leader of the communist Vietminh and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam which Ho announced on September 2, 1945."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Vietnam War offered the conditions for the US to realize the change in the international political environment and the need for diplomatic cooperation more than military confrontation. The paper looks at Henry Kissinger's new diplomacy that offered the detente period, which advocated for the first time the existence of more than two centers of power. The paper shows how from this point on, subsequent administrations worked, more or less, to reaching a peaceful outcome to the Cold War.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War can be rightfully seen as a pivotal moment in the history of the 20th century. The human loss could only be estimated, as there were too many unknown events that influenced the final outcome of the victim count, as "over 57, 000 Americans- and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese- died. Total American expenses have been calculated at over a trillion dollars." (Rothney and Findley, 1986, 300) However important is the human factor, aside from the tragedies of the Vietnamese and American peoples who engaged their troops on the battlefield, there is the aspect of the dramatic political shift that the war and its outcome provoked."

From the Paper
"The Vietnam War is normally associated with the administrations of Presidents Johnson and Nixon. It was during the period between 1965 and 1972 that American involvement in a land war in Asia rapidly expanded and only ended in stalemate, frustration and great internal bitterness. However, the United States commitment to South Vietnam goes back to the era of the Eisenhower administration, when this country began aiding the Vietnamese following the collapse and withdrawal of French colonial rule. During Eisenhower's years as President, the United States was committed to supporting the government of Ngo Dinh Diem, the Premier of South Vietnam. That support was primarily related to the training of the armed forces by U.S. advisors and to anti-communist activities carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency. With the start of a Viet Cong guerrilla warfare against ... "

Abstract
This paper looks at how after the Vietnam war ended, the United States wished to invest in the Vietnamese economy in order to get it out of its ten-year stagnation following the war. The writer examines various forms of aid, laws and committees which have been established to normalize relationships between Washington and Hanoi.
From the Paper
"Vietnam?s economy stagnated for 10 years after the war ended in 1975. In 1986, the Sixth Party Congress approved a broad economic reform package called ?Doi Moi? or renovation that was geared to dramatically alter and improve Vietnam?s business climate, both at home and abroad.
?Vietnam became one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, averaging around 8 percent annual GDP growth from 1990 to 1997.? (Bureau of Public Affairs) Vietnam?s inflation rate stood at an annual rate of more than 300 percent in 1987 and fell below 4 percent in 1997. Investments and domestic savings grew and agricultural production doubled which led to the country being the second largest exporter of rice in the world."

Abstract
This paper explores various policy papers, which define public school policy ranging from illumination of the classroom to environmentally sensitive cleaning and maintenance to funding recommendations. The author points out that a systematic difference was found between the federal and the non-federal systems in policy performance including little indication that federal systems either equalize or redistribute the aggregate resources of society. The paper relates that the goals of the governor's 'Campaign for Fiscal Equity' are (1) a multi-year, massive infusion of school funding, (2) the creation of a clear cut system of accountability to drive funds to key educational strategies and (3) a fair and simple foundation formula to distribute school aid based on student need not politics.

Abstract
This paper explains that the American failures in Cuba and Vietnam in the 1960s were due in large part to the fear, arrogance and ignorance of Cold War containment policies that developed in the aftermath of World War II. The author believes that the problem was the assumption that all political and economic reform movements in Third World nations were not indigenous but were inspired instead by the evil Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. The author states that once this Cold War policy was in effect, no leader of the U.S. had the courage, wisdom or political independence to try to alter fully that policy.
From the Paper
"Kennedy certainly entered office under the pall of the same Cold War ideology and its containment policy, as evidenced by his "missile gap" rhetoric, his increase of advisors in Vietnam, and the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. It will never be known whether he would have averted a war in Vietnam, but his test-ban treaty with the Soviets, his denunciation of the CIA after the Bay of Pigs disaster, and his plan to withdraw some troops from Vietnam indicate at least a willingness to consider more flexibility in that policy."
