Abstract

Abstract Reform to establish a democratic, citizen-centered government is an important orientation in the world and in Vietnam today. For Vietnam, how to promote and strengthen democratic governance must be one of the most crucial issues in order to achieve sustainable development goals. Based on the theoretical framework and survey results, this study evaluates citizen participation in local governance in Vietnam on seven main dimensions, including: (i) Transparency aims to ensure citizens’ right to know; (ii) Participation in elections; (iii) Outlining of policy initiatives; (iv) Policy discussion, social criticism and referendums; (v) Voluntary contributions and cooperation with the government in public-service delivery; (vi) Social self-governance; (vii) Supervision of the social realm. Research shows that the dominance of local government is very evident in the process of citizen participation. The policy implications for countries in transition like Vietnam are that, in order to increase citizen participation in local governance, the openness of local government should be enhanced. Of course, doing this well needs a certain social basis.

越南公民参与地方治理研究
摘要建立民主、以公民为中心的政府的改革是当今世界和越南的一个重要方向。对越南来说,如何促进和加强民主治理必须是实现可持续发展目标的最关键问题之一。基于理论框架和调查结果,本研究从七个主要维度评估了越南公民参与地方治理的情况,包括:(一)透明度旨在确保公民的知情权;二参加选举;三政策倡议概要;四政策讨论、社会批评和公民投票;(v) 自愿捐款和与政府合作提供公共服务;六社会自治;七对社会领域的监督。研究表明,在公民参与过程中,地方政府的主导地位十分明显。对越南等转型期国家的政策影响是,为了增加公民对地方治理的参与,应该加强地方政府的开放性。当然,做好这件事需要一定的社会基础。
