ABSTRACT
Social Science Research (SSR) has been regarded as one of the most important pillars of research in Vietnam. Since Vietnam’s reunification in 1975, especially since the doi moi (renovation), social science development has become an important content of the documents in every National Congress of Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). The CPV, also known as the Vietnamese Communist Party (VCP), is the founding and ruling political party of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Although nominally it exists alongside the Vietnamese Fatherland Front, it maintains a unitary government and has centralized control over the state, military and media. The supremacy of the Communist Party is guaranteed by Article 4 of the National Constitution.
