Acknowledgments
The idea of this book took shape through the panel “Understanding the Socialist Market Economy: Development, Transformations and Contradictions in China, Vietnam and Laos” at the NORASIA VII conference organized by the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies at the University of Oslo in 2017. We would like to thank Kenneth Bo Nielsen for inviting us to set up a panel at the conference, as well as all the panel presenters and audience for stimulating discussions. The editors would like to thank all the contributors for excellent work and great cooperation. We would also like to thank the anonymous referees for supporting the project and for providing useful and constructive feedback. And last, a big thank you to Sara Crowley-Vigneau and the excellent staff at Palgrave Macmillan for their support throughout the publishing process. Oslo April 2020
