Vietnam: Building and Sustaining People's Defense (Joint Force Quarterly, Issue 36)

Abstract

In the fifteen years since the establishment of the national renewal policy, called doi moi, Vietnam has emerged from socioeconomic crisis characterized by extensive and debilitating rates of poverty and unemployment into regional power experiencing double-digit economic growth, stable government, and a more powerful military. As a sovereign state, Vietnam has a clear policy of defending the national interests, independence, sovereignty, and territory integrity of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Fundamentally, peace and self-defense are the cornerstones.
