“State, market and society: international experience and implications for Vietnam”

The workshop addressed the relationship between the State, Market and Society - an important issue for each country, especially for Vietnam in the process of building a rule-of-law State, perfecting the market economy and developing society. The workshop focused on specific contents: theoretical models of social development on the triangular relationship between the State, Market and Society; changes in each factor in the triangular relationship and each pair of factors: State - Market, State - Society; Market - Society; reshaping the relationship between the State - Market and Society in good governance: experiences of some countries and the possibility of application in Vietnam.

The workshop contributes to improving theory and knowledge on the topic of the relationship between State - Market - Society and draws many lessons for Vietnam from the experiences of other countries.

The workshop was attended by many domestic and foreign scholars.

In his opening speech at the workshop, Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh (Principal of the School) thanked the KAS Institute for its support and cooperation in the School's scientific research activities over the years. Thanks to that, many workshops on topics related to socio-economic development models and lessons for Vietnam have been organized, creating a scientific and open discussion forum for scientists, lecturers as well as students and trainees of the School. 30 years ago, Vietnam implemented the Doi Moi policy to transform from a centralized, managed economy following the Soviet model to a socialist-oriented market economy. The new model has created many achievements in all fields of politics, economics, and society, and currently, Vietnam is still aiming to perfect that model. With that meaning, the School hopes that Vietnamese and foreign scientists at this conference will discuss in depth the differences between development models in the world on the basis of the relationship between State - Market - Society and give suggestions for Vietnam.
