Workshop: Differentiation of power among central and local governmental bodies in Vietnam

On 17. July 2019, the Institute of State and Law of the Vietnam Academy of Social Schiences (VASS) in cooperation with KAS organises a workshop about differentiation of power between central and local governmental bodies. In Vietnam, the duties and authorities of local governments are determined on the basis of differentiation of power between central state bodies and local state bodies. The differentiation of vertical management authority between central government and local government is carried out in form of decentralization, however some of the theoretical aspects of decentralization have not yet been clarified. This workshop will focus on these issues while analyzing international information and experience on the vertical differentiation of power between central and local governments, thereby making suggestions for Vietnam in developing and implementing a differentiation mechanism. Participants will also have time to ask their question and engage in a discussion with the experts.
