Study Environmental History in Vietnam

Abstract

Environmental history emerged in the 1970s as a sub-discipline of history which studies human interaction with the environment over time. While the discipline has only begun to be explored as a new trend in Vietnam in the past few years, Vietnamese environmental history has already become an interest among foreign scholars during the past two decades which has been proved by several prominent publications. This article provides a literature review on Vietnamese environmental history by native and foreign researchers, thereby discussing future research prospects in Vietnam.
