SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE PROCESS OF MODERNIZATION IN VIETNAM

Abstract

In this article, we aim to show that in socialist countries, the process of modernisation is a form of modernisation based on the Marxist-Leninist theory of socialism as the most progressive and advanced socio-economic formation in human history. The process of modernisation, in various specific historical contexts, represents the creative application and development of Marxism-Leninism. In Vietnam’s current developmental context, the process of modernization, which is associated closely with industrialization, is a process of humane and sustainable modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party, grounded on three fundamental pillars: a socialist-oriented market economy, a socialist rule-of-law state, and socialist democracy.
