Impacts of Globalization on Public Opinion in Ethnic Minority Areas in Vietnam

Abstract

Since Doi Moi (Renovation) in 1986, integration and globalization has made an increasingly large impact on the economic, cultural and social life of the ethnic minorities, resulting in changes in their related practices that form the public opinion of the local people. Our survey results show that ethnic minorities, thanks to digital social media, have continually raised and shared their opinions over the issues of the new context to a broader audience and space and at diff erent times and in more diverse ways.
