Role of communication in adjusting population policy in Vietnam today

Abstract: Population policy is one of the key areas of national governance, directly influencing the country’s sustainable development. Amid rapid socioeconomic changes, nations including Vietnam must continuously adjust their population policies to align with new realities. However, one of the decisive factors for the success of such adjustments is policy communication. Through communication, the State not only provides accurate information about policy changes but also shapes public opinion, transforms perceptions, and fosters social consensus. Therefore, studying the role of policy communication in adjusting population policy in Vietnam is crucial for understanding how communication can effectively support the formulation and implementation of population policies.

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.

Democracy and human rights are being used as pretexts to incite disorder, disrupt stability, and undermine political and social security, while also attempting to divide national unity. Their ultimate goal is to destabilize the political system, weaken, and eventually overthrow the leadership of the Communist Party, thereby eliminating the socialist regime in Vietnam.

The expansion of the mass movement in all social movements under the leadership of the proletarian party is the most notable historical feature of the people's democratic revolutionary era. The birth and development of a new culture and art in Viet Nam during the people's democratic revolution was associated with the fight for national independence and reunification. Recognizing the Party's leadership role in the process of building a new culture and art during progressive revolutionary resistance wars has created conditions for the harmonious development of the people's culture and art.
