A theoretical framework to Vietnam's paradiplomacy making and implementation

Abstract: Paradiplomacy, or subnational diplomacy, has become an increasingly significant dimension of international relations in the context of globalization and decentralization. In Vietnam, local diplomacy plays a vital role in the realization of the country’s foreign policy objectives, particularly in linking security, development, and international position. This article develops a theoretical framework for understanding how Vietnam formulates and implements paradiplomatic policies. It adopts a policy analysis approach based on the “ends–means–ways” and linear model, adapted to the Vietnamese political-administrative context. The framework emphasizes both vertical coordination (top-down guidance from the central level) and horizontal interaction (bottom-up initiatives from provinces and cities), reflecting the hybrid nature of Vietnam’s paradiplomacy as both a delegated and an autonomous practice within the unified foreign policy system.

Abstract: In recent years, the media coverage of climate change in Vietnam has achieved significant progress. It has established diverse channels of information, providing multidimensional perspectives on the issue of climate change. Via media, state policies have been implemented in daily life, contributing to changing the perception and actions of the people. The term "climate change" is no longer just a concern for scientists but has become a societal issue. Alongside print media, television, and online news outlets, radio broadcasting is increasingly contributing its voice to the efforts to address climate change. By analyzing some community radio models worldwide, the article evaluates prospects and provides suggestions for radio stations in Vietnam in disseminating information about climate change.
