Factors Affecting Anti-Corruption Efforts in Vietnam

Abstract

Corruption is a common phenomenon in all countries, prompting the establishment of various political, legal, and technical measures to combat it. Vietnam, a rising country in science, technology, economy, and politics, is experiencing an increasing prevalence of corruption at all levels, from local to central. Despite many stringent anti-corruption measures taken by the State and the Party of Vietnam, the results have not been satisfactory. This article provides an overview of the current situation of corruption in Vietnam and analyzes factors preventing the effective and efficient implementation of anti-corruption measures. These factors include political-legal and sociocultural influences, criminal and disciplinary measures, law enforcement challenges, investigation rights, the independence, objectivity, and impartiality in anti-corruption work, as well as the coordination of these efforts.
