Tóm tắt

Public opinion has been studied for building a rule-of-law  state in Vietnam, and authors of State-level Scientific Research Project KX.03.16/11-15 have interviewed 2,820 persons to have a closer look on the issue. The results show that 83.7% of the respondents insist on the necessity of a rule-of-law state, 91.4% agree that democracy is a condition for development. Notably, 32.9% believe the exercise of democracy in the current management of the country is an important issue while 67.1% do not, and 45.5% of the respondents want the Government to pay more attention to the exercise when running the country. Regarding the reflection of opinions in the Party and State’s policies, 86.2% think their opinions have been listened to. The author suggests that rule of law and democracy should be exercised in the spirit of “people know, people discuss, people carry out and people check all affairs of the state.” This is in line with the building of a rule-of-law state in Vietnam today.
