Introduction -- From state socialism to transition -- State-building -- Accountability of the Đơ̂i Mới State -- Regime change and legitimacy from a comparative perspective |
| Summary |
This is a study of Vietnam's socialist transition and state transformation, generally known as ♯₁o̲Ì⁹i moÌ₎̹i. It examines the drivers of socialist-regime change, the nature of the ♯₁o̲Ì⁹i moÌ₎̹i state, and the basis of regime legitimacy in Vietnam. The Element argues that despite its 'one-party rule' label, the party-state apparatus that channels said rule has become fragmented. State-building during the ♯₁o̲Ì⁹i moÌ₎̹i period involved negotiations and bargaining that redefine authority and power relations within the state apparatus. The party-state's accountability projects are designed to target the specific self-aggrandizing tendencies of the state apparatus, its policies, and abuse of state power. At the leadership level, patterns of resource allocation underlying the ♯₁o̲Ì⁹i moÌ₎̹i growth model as well as the VCP's cadre rotation approach have accommodated central and sub-national state elites across sectors and levels, helping shore up the legitimacy of the ♯₁o̲Ì⁹i moÌ₎̹i state in the eyes of the state elite. The combination of sustained economic growth, expansion of political space, accountability, and tolerance of small-scale public protests have been factors in strengthening regime-society legitimization |
