Social changes in Vietnam under impacts of WTO accession

Abstract

Acceding WTO, member states are likely to have opportunities in development, but also face risks and challenges. For developing countries like Vietnam, the risks and challenges might be even more severe. First of all, there would be changes in the economic field, which cause cross-cutting social changes. In that context, complexities also arise in the areas of security, national defense and homeland protection. This article attempts to analyze the above-mentioned changes, to make clear their impacts, which base the understanding and proposal of appropriate solutions for development.
