From the Back Cover
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of policy transfer in authoritarian regimes. Focusing on Vietnam, it explores how and why authoritarian governments learn from other countries, and the significance of policy transfer outcomes. By examining merit-based policy transfer in Vietnam's civil service and comparing it with policy transfer in China, the book uncovers key aspects of policy transfer in one-party authoritarian systems. In doing so, it addresses an important gap in the literature on policy transfer, that has predominantly focused on Western democracies. The book highlights the role of the ruling party in overseeing policy transfer and the resulting consolidation of authoritarian power structures. It also provides theoretical recommendations for future research and addresses the practical implications of policy transfer and meritocratic reform in authoritarian contexts. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, authoritarianism, and Asia-Pacific studies.

"Policy Transfer Under Authoritarianism provides a compelling theoretical, empirical, and methodological contribution to our understanding of policy transfer in authoritarian regimes in general and Vietnam in particular. It presents an original and stimulating analysis of how Vietnamese officials selectively pick from contrasting merit-based policy models to serve their political goals. This is a must-read book for both scholars and practitioners."

James L. Perry, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Indiana University, USA.
"Meritocratic policies and practices are robust predictors for government performance in countries globally, both developed and developing. Meritocracy is crucial for administrative performance and quality government. This book is anexcellent exposition of why and how a developing country can improve government performance by learning lessons about meritocracy from abroad. The book opens the "black box" for promoting meritocracy in authoritarian regimes."
