THE STATE ORGANIZATION IN SOUTH VIETNAM AT THE COCHIN-CHINA RULING TIME OF THE NGUYEN LORDS

Abstract

The paper analyzes the formation and the model of the state organization in South Vietnam at the Cochin-china ruling time of the Nguyen Lords. At that time, the state organization in South Vietnam bore a lot of special characteristics, of which some were similar to but some were different from those in North Vietnam under the ruling of the Le Kings and Trinh Lords as well as those in the region of Thuan Quang under the ruling of the Nguyen Lords. Research on the state organization in South Vietnam in this period will enable us to get further understanding of the Vietnamese feudal history specifically and Vietnam history generally.
