Resumen

Este artículo explora las razones que llevaron a Vietnam a entrar en la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) en 2007. Sobre la base de entrevistas semi-estructuradas con élites políticas y económicas, fuentes secundarias y documentos oficiales, se argumenta que las consideraciones de economía política fueron clave en esta decisión. En particular, las autoridades vietnamitas utilizaron la adhesión a la OMC para consolidar reformas estructurales internas, subrayar su estabilidad política ante sus socios comerciales y asegurar el acceso de sus productos a los mercados de los países occidentales. La adhesión llega tras un cambio cualitativo en las las exportaciones (con creciente valor añadido) que significó también nuevos socios comerciales (occidentales). Así, se interpreta adhesión a la OMC como el paso final de un proceso más amplio de �occidentalización� económica.
