Abstract

Vietnam’s ethnic policies in the post-Doi Moi (1986) period have in part changed the picture of mountainous rural areas and ethnic minorities. As the rate of poor households has been markedly reduced, residents’ level of knowledge has also been improved. The preservation and promotion of traditional culture of ethnic minorities has been made more attention while political stability, national defense and security are maintained. However, due to both objective and subjective reasons, there have been several difficulties and limitations in implementing ethnic minority policies in mountainous areas. As a result, the poverty rate remains high while the local cultural institutions have not met the practical requirements and some ethnic minorities face the threat of erosion of traditional culture.
