Political science - as a social science - plays a particularly important role in studying the laws of motion of political life, the mechanisms, methods and tools to realize those laws in practice.
In the world, Political Science has been developing strongly, making practical contributions to the process of public policy making, training leadership teams, and raising public political awareness. In Vietnam, Political Science has increasingly affirmed its role in theorizing and practicing the path of innovation and developing the country in the direction of socialism.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Chieu - Head of the Department of Political Science, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, presented the conference introduction.
The second workshop focused on discussing three major groups of issues: First, theoretical and practical issues in current political life in Vietnam and the world; Second, issues related to international relations and global politics, which clarified new dynamics in cooperation, competition, and regional governance; Third, new challenges in global political life and governance, requiring innovation in thinking and approaches in modern political science research.
Professor Vladimir Mazyrin (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Director of the Center for Vietnam and ASEAN Studies - Institute of International Science and Culture, Russian Academy of Sciences) presented a paper on the topic "US policy in Southeast Asia within the framework of the Domino doctrine and the consequences of the Vietnam War"

The workshop attracted a large number of scientists and graduate students.
The Organizing Committee of the Conference received 50 reports from Vietnamese and international scientists. These are in-depth research works with high academic and practical value, focusing on research issues such as: Analysis of political science in the digital age; globalization trends and new political order of the world; Politics and policies of the United States, South Asia and Southeast Asia; the issue of national unity and the role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the current period; transformation of Vietnam's agricultural policy model from 1990 to present, and many other important topics.
These studies not only demonstrate the relevance and international scope of modern political science, but also contribute important theoretical and practical foundations to the policy-making process and sustainable development of Vietnam.
The workshop concluded with many valuable suggestions for political science research and teaching in the new period. With a solid academic foundation, extensive international cooperation and a pioneering spirit of innovation, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, including the Faculty of Political Science, continues to affirm its leading position in the country in training and researching political science, making practical contributions to the development of high-quality human resources and modern, humane politics of Vietnam.
