Kinship traditionally played a significant key role in Vietnamese village life until the 1945 Revolution; from the 1950s to 1980s, the state tried to shape the family and kinship following its ideology, which led to a weakening of kinship relations. Since the mid-1980s, however, after the government adopted comprehensive socio-economic reforms, there has been a revival in activities involving kinship relations. This article examines the role of kinship relations in everyday village life, especially life-cycle events. By applying a human security perspective, the article shows that since the reforms, kinship relations have been the mainstay for individuals and their families to reduce difficulties or insecurities in organizing life-cycle events such as funerals and weddings at the village level.

The Vietnam Association of Traditional Studies (VATS) took the initiative in promoting Confucian cultural practices in South Vietnam from 1955–1975. The association strove towards collecting, researching, translating, interpreting and circulating classical Sinographic documents in order to preserve traditional East Asian culture in relation to up-to-date moral education and practical science. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research material related to the organization during the period after the two halves of Vietnam were reunited in 1975. Thus, the Association's activities after 1975 cannot be discussed. To bridge the gap, this article is based on rare documents mostly collected by the author, describing the history and activities of this Confucian organization, including its establishment (1954), regulations, organizational structure, and membership. This article will also focus on the VATS's Confucian cultural practices, such as (i) publishing as a way to promote Confucianism and traditional morality, (ii) Confucianism and Literary Sinitic education, (iii) public speeches, (iv) organizing the annual commemoration of Confucius' birthday on September 28th, (v) and promoting international cooperation related to Confucianism. These activities demonstrate the organization's attempt at popularizing Confucianism and making it compatible with ideas and practices introduced by modernization and Westernization in the middle of the twentieth century.
The political system of Vietnam follows the former Soviet style, which includes the following elements from central to local level: Party, State, Fatherland Front and mass organizations. This type of organizational structure has shown increasing limitations in the current context of an open economy and global integration. These need to be reformed and improved. While there are enormous challenges in this reform process, there are encouraging changes. Therefore, it is essential to renovate fundamental understanding on political system structure and induce the strong political will of the whole political system, particularly within the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). Based on the theoretical model of political will developed by Post et al. (2010), this study aims to test the assumption that the political system organizational restructuring and staff reduction process will be successful with strong political will and public support. The findings show that the on-going political system organizational process and staff reduction in Vietnam seems to be in line with the assumption. There are impressive initial achievements. These include: (i) elimination of three steering committees, seven directorates etc.; around 200 bureaus, departments etc., and 65 provincial departments; (ii) reduction of 50 directorate-level leading positions, more than 300 bureau and department-level leading positions, about 200 provincial department-level leading positions and about 10,000 division/office-level managers. Challenges are inertia within the system, hesitation and conflicts of interest among decision makers. Therefore, strong political will from the top level, common understanding and effort from all Party members and support from people, as well as effective solutions in the coming years, are all required.
The management of street vendors is a challenge in the developing world in general and Vietnam in particular. Combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, it has been possible to show that the process of urbanization and the decay of earnings from agriculture are the reasons why farmers participate in street trade: to escape from poverty. The urban habits of living and of spending are also responsible for the demand for street vendors. Besides, the study also points out that street trade is a long-standing commercial business that has always been there from the feudal period on to the present day. There are a considerably high number of street vendors in Hanoi and their portraits are diverse depending on the criteria chosen to evaluate them: migration patterns, types of goods, mode of operation, etc. Compared to the rest of the informal sector, street trade stands out inasmuch as most of the vendors are women, their activity goes on a small scale and aims at keeping oneself out of need, so the embarking on this kind of trade results more from coercion than choice. Everyone in the population becomes involved in street hawking at one time or another (it is a popular economy), however this branch of activity is being unfairly treated by the government. This is why street vendors can be considered as less advantaged people in the "sidewalk economy". They always have to use "tactics" and find loopholes in the social space to operate ; La gestion du commerce ambulant est un défi dans les pays en développement en général et au Vietnam en particulier. Grâce à la combinaison entre la méthode qualitative et celle quantitative, cette recherche a montré que l'urbanisation et les insuffisances des activités agricoles ont poussé les paysans à entrer dans le commerce ambulant pour s'assurer une vie correcte. Les habitudes quotidiennes, notamment de consommation, des citadins contribuent aussi à renforcer le besoin de commerce ambulant. De plus, la recherche a également montré que le commerce ambulant est un type de ...
