Vietnam: The Just Energy Transition Partnership (Jetp) Has High Political Costs

The purpose of Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETPs) is to decarbonize energy systems in emerging countries. In Vietnam, the partnership is ambitious but underfunded, unjust, and riddled with high political costs.

Protest and State Reaction: An Intra-Regional Comparison (Indonesia, Vietnam)

Do democratic and authoritarian political regimes (re-)act differently to certain forms and contents of protest? This is the core question behind this pilot project, which conducts an intra-regional comparison between Indonesia and Vietnam. The research belongs to the H2020 consortium CRISEA (Competing Regional Integrations in Southeast Asia), coordinated by Ecole française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO).

Civil Society Organizations as Supporters of Authoritarian Rule? A Cross-Regional Comparison (Vietnam, Algeria, Mozambique)

The project explores in which ways civil society organisations (CSOs) contribute to the preservation or weakening of the authoritarian state’s infrastructural and discursive power. It is based on cross-regional comparisons of CSOs in the post-socialist countries Algeria, Mozambique, and Vietnam.
