Vietnam, as one of Southeast\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsia’s quintessential latecomer economies with little prior experience of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edealing with transnational corporations, has nevertheless been quite successful\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein maintaining some control over the impact of foreign direct investment. Yet,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe learning outcomes remain highly uneven.
