“…It is beyond dispute that market-oriented reforms have contributed to poverty reduction in Vietnam. Jenkins (2004) argues that improved employment brought about by the growth of exports is one potential way in which globalization has had a positive impact on poverty.…”

Trade policies can promote aggregate efficiency, but the ensuing structural adjustments generally create both winners and losers. From an incomes perspective, trade liberalization can raise GDP per capita, but rates of emergence from poverty depend upon individual household characteristics of economic participation and asset holding. To fully realize the growth potential of trade, while limiting the risk of rising inequality, policies need to better account for microeconomic heterogeneity. One approach to this is the geographic targeting, which shifts resources to poor areas. This study combines an integrated microsimulation-CGE model with the small area estimation to evaluate the spatial incidence of Vietnam's accession to the WTO. Provincial-level poverty reduction after full liberalization was heterogeneous, ranging from 2.2 per cent to 14.3 per cent. Full liberalization will benefit the poor on a national basis, but the northwestern area of Vietnam is likely to lag behind. Furthermore, poverty can be shown to increase under comparable scenarios.

This study provides for the new evidence of factors determining export participation of private manufacturing SMEs in Vietnam. Using a recent national survey in 2011 about private manufacturing SMEs, we find that while more years in business does not affect the probability of firm exporting, firm with smaller scale have a lower likelihood of exporting. The results also indicate that innovation has a positive effect on exporting probability of firms implying that encouragement of innovative activities play an important role in promoting exporting participation of private domestic SMEs.

The relationship between globalization and development is a problematic one, not only in the real world, but also because there is a lack of clarity over both terms in the debate. For example, the study of development rose to prominence in the period after 1945, but classical political economy's focus on the wealth of nations had been effectively concerned with development. In the postwar period, development was something which largely focused on the nation‐state, but it was also a global phenomenon, much of which was concerned, as we will see, with whether the global context hindered or boosted developmental prospects. Most of the debate, however, is concerned with the relationship between the globalization of the past 30 years, and developmental prospects for poorer countries. But even this is complicated by the fact that there are different meanings of development, particularly as in recent years some critical thinkers have questioned the idea that development is desirable (Escobar 1995). The bulk of this entry will focus on the relationship between globalization and development in recent years, but to do this, some consideration of the postwar period is also needed. There are therefore three sections: the first examines development in the postwar period up until the neoliberal turn in the late 1970s and early 1980s; second, the question of globalization is briefly examined, and related to the development debate and, specifically, renewed modernization theory; and third, the relationship between contemporary globalization and development is examined in some depth, in part through a defense of the debates over development theory that are too often regarded as being out of date in the global era.
