NGAN Vu Thi Thu

A two-level game approach to Hanoi's foreign policy proactivism/ Vu Thi Thu Ngan and Le Dinh Tinh - 2023

In this article we elucidate the evolution of Hanoi's foreign policy proactivism which has been understudied in the contemporary literature. In selective areas, why has Vietnam adopted a more proactive foreign policy than before? By means of 'two-level game' theory, official documents and research papers, and expert interviews, we analyze the foreign policy of Vietnam and compare it with that of Indonesia, ASEAN's de facto leader, by examining the former's role in the South China Sea issue and international economic integration strategy.
