Quan hệ dân tộc xuyên quốc gia của người Khơ-me vùng Nam Bộ

Tóm tắt

The Khmer is one of the largest ethnic minority groups in the South of Vietnam with a major population proportion living in the Mekong delta. They have a very rich and distinctive culture, and play an important role in socio-economic development of the region in history as well as today. They also have considerable close relations with the Khmer in Cambodia and diaspora Khmer in other countries. Since Renovation (1986), under the open-door economic and global integration policies, these transnational ethnic relations of the Khmer have increased in both extend and degree. Grounded on field data and literature review, the article highlights basic patterns and dynamics of transnational relations of the Khmer in the present; identifies and analyses the major factors that influence these relations and their impacts in return on socio-economic development and national security in the South and in Vietnam as a whole.
