Administrative Reforms as a Solution for Building Democracy in Modern Vietnam

Abstract

This paper explores Vietnam’s administrative reforms, which constitute a pivotal strategy towards country’s democratization. It scrutinizes three critical dimensions: the overarching goals of the reforms, the specific poli-cies and measures implemented, and the challenges encountered. Initially, the paper discusses how these reforms underpin democratization by boosting government efficiency, accountability, and transparency, em-phasizing key initiatives like bureaucratic restructuring, policy modernization, and e-governance integration to enhance public engagement and streamline operations. Subsequently, it details measures such as the digitali-zation of administrative processes and legislative updates aimed at achieving service excellence and focusing on citizen-centric governance. In conclusion, this study points out the multifaceted challenges facing Vietnam’s administrative reform. This analysis illustrates the complex yet crucial journey towards establishing a more democratic, transparent, and accountable governance model in Vietnam.
