News Friday, 08:48 07-05-2021

Scientific research is one of the most important activities of higher education institutions with the main force of lecturers and researchers. One criterion to evaluate the quality of scientific research by the lecturers in particular and a higher education institution in general in the current context of international integration is the number of research papers published on credible domestic and international journals. This article discusses some information and experiences in preparing international publications in the field of social sciences for lecturers and researchers, who do not have much experience in this field. In addition, the author discusses the solutions to deal with the difficulties and increase the number of quality international publications in the coming time.

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.
