10. Summary of thesis results:

The thesis focuses first of all on clarifying the characteristics of the developmental state - a concept that is still very new in Vietnam, following the model of developmental states in East Asia, based on previously studied theories pioneered by scientist Chalmers Ashby Johnson and the reality of building East Asian countries in the export-oriented industrialization period.

In addition, the thesis also presents a number of theoretical issues surrounding the developmental state model such as explaining the concept, context of birth, classification, and nature of the developmental state.

The thesis also presents an overview of the developmental state model in some East Asian states such as Japan, Korea, Singapore and the initial steps in building a developmental state in Vietnam.

11. Practical application:

This study can be used as a reference for policy makers in Vietnam on building a developmental state, because it provides information on the context in which the developmental state was born, the general characteristics required of a developmental state as well as the specific characteristics according to each country's circumstances, and finally, solutions built based on the specific circumstances of Vietnam today.

At the same time, the thesis will also be a useful reference for future researchers, in the context of the developmental state in Vietnam is still a new issue.

12. Further research directions:

The topic will continue to be studied in depth at higher levels. Specifically, if possible, the author will conduct more thorough research on the conditions for building a developmental state in Vietnam, including economics, politics, culture, and law, to have appropriate and accurate solutions.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

The thesis focuses mainly on clarifying the characteristics of the Developmental State – a very new concept in Vietnam, according to the model of the Developmental States in East Asia, based on the previous studies of the scientist Chalmers Ashby Johnson and the construction of the East Asia countries in the period of industrialization toward export.

Besides, the thesis also presents some theoretical issues surrounding the Developmental State model such as concept explanation, context introduction, classification and the nature of the Developmental State.

The thesis also presents an overview of the model of the Developmental State in a number of East Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Singapore and the first step to build in a Developmental State in Vietnam.

11. Practical applicability, if any:

This study can be used as a reference for the policy promotion in Vietnam on building a Developmental State. Because it provides information about the background in which Developmental State was born, the different characteristics under the circumstances of each country, and finally the solution based on specific circumstances of Vietnam at present.

The thesis will also be a useful reference for those who have to study in the context that Developmental State in Vietnam is still a new issue.

12. Further research directions, if any:

The subject will continue to be studied deeply in higher education, particularly, the author will carefully study about the conditions to build Developmental State in Vietnam including economics, politics, culture, and law.
