10. Summary of new results of the thesis:
- Discovery 1:The thesis has shown that the changes in the process of building the ASEAN - Korea comprehensive partnership (1989 - 2009) were clearly influenced by the changes in the international, regional and domestic relations after the Cold War and clearly reflected the changes in each side's perception of the partner in the new developments of the world and regional situation.
- Discovery 2:The thesis shows that the Korea-ASEAN relationship initially originated from the need to ensure security but was most effective in the economic field. Before the Cold War, the relationship between Korea and ASEAN originated from the need to ensure security but was not very effective due to the influence of the United States. After the Cold War, in addition to the need to ensure security and cope with fluctuations in the regional and world situation, the need for economic cooperation emerged.
- Finding 3:The thesis pointed out the changes in foreign policies of ASEAN and Korea in the period 1989 - 2009 to integrate into the regional flow but still could not affirm their role and position in that flow due to being distracted by many domestic and foreign issues.
- Finding 4:Through the analysis of the changes in ASEAN-Korea relations as well as the advantages of each side in the regional international situation, the thesis has pointed out the characteristics and impacts of this relationship on each subject, on the ASEAN-Korea relationship and on the international relations order in East Asia. The thesis also has the conclusion that ASEAN-Korea relations can become a leading factor in balancing the fluctuating relations between neighboring countries in East Asia if they know how to take advantage of the unique geopolitical position and special advantages in the region.
11. Practical application:
- The thesis has contributed to providing scientific bases for studies on ASEAN-Korea relations in later stages as well as on the development process of this relationship. At the same time, the thesis also provides practical data for theoretical studies on Asian international relations, especially on the role of middle powers in international relations as well as studies on the East Asian region.
- Based on the analysis and evaluation of the achievements as well as the limitations and the role of the ASEAN - Korea comprehensive partnership to clarify the changes in the perception of the other of the two entities, to a certain extent, the thesis contributes the necessary scientific arguments to help formulate policies in relations with Korea as a member of ASEAN, helping Vietnam form ideas to promote ASEAN - Korea, Korea - Vietnam relations as well as regional international relations in general.
12. Further research directions:
- Continue to study changes in ASEAN - Korea partnership.
- ASEAN - Korea relations in all fields and among Association members.
- Research on foreign policies of ASEAN and Korea in the regional international context.
