10. Summary of the thesis results:

This thesis focuses primarily on clarifying the characteristics of the developmental state—a concept that is still very new in Vietnam, modeled after developmental states in East Asia, based on previously studied theories pioneered by the scientist Chalmers Ashby Johnson and the practical experience of building export-oriented industrialization in East Asian countries.

In addition, the thesis also presents some theoretical issues surrounding the developmental state model, such as explaining the concept, the context of its emergence, classification, and nature of the developmental state.

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

11. Practical applications:

This study can serve as a reference for policymakers in Vietnam on building a developmental state, as it provides information on the context in which developmental states emerge, the general characteristics required of such a state, as well as specific characteristics tailored to each country's circumstances, and finally, solutions developed based on Vietnam's current specific context.

At the same time, this thesis will also serve as a useful reference for future researchers, given that the concept of a developmental state in Vietnam is still a relatively new issue.

12. Future research directions:

The topic will be further researched at a higher academic level. Specifically, if conditions permit, the author will conduct a more thorough study of the conditions for building a developmental state in Vietnam, including economics, politics, culture, and law, in order to propose 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.
