  • The Vietnam-US-China Triangle: New Dynamics and Implications
    ISSUE: 2015 NO.45 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 25 August 2015 The Vietnam-US-China Triangle: New Dynamics and Implications Le Hong Hiep* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent visit to Washington by Nguyen Phu Trong, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), may have been praised by both sides as a “historic” landmark in bilateral relations, but in order to gain a more nuanced evaluation of the event, the broader regional context, including recent developments in Vietnam- China and US-China relations, needs to be considered. New dynamics in the Vietnam-US-China relations suggest that, at least in the short run, Vietnam’s relations with the US will continue to improve, while its relations with China will suffer significant setbacks. At the systemic level, intensified strategic competition between China and the US makes Vietnam a natural target for both powers’ diplomatic manoeuvres. However, due to the South China Sea disputes, Ha Noi is more receptive to a stronger relationship with Washington. At the national level, while the mutual trust between Vietnam and the US has been enhanced in recent years, Vietnam-China relations have been suffering from a burgeoning trust deficit. The fact that national interests have replaced ideological consderations as the key determinant of Vietnam’s foreign policy also tends to favour Washington at the expense of Beijing. Vietnam’s domestic economic and political conditions, such as deepening economic ties with the US and rising anti-China sentiments, are also conducive to improvements in Vietnam-US relations while unfavourable for Ha Noi’s ties with Beijing.

    August 2013 Report Expanding capabilities How adolescent Khmer girls in Viet Nam are learning to juggle filial piety, educational ambition (and Facebook) Nicola Jones, Elizabeth Presler-Marshall and Tran Thi Van Anh with James Hamilton Harding Informed by the longstanding consensus that women play a unique role in consolidating development gains in the next generation – and building on the emerging understanding that adolescence, because it is a critical period in terms of capacity development, presents a unique opportunity to alter life trajectories – this report explores Khmer adolescent girls’ understanding of the role that gendered social norms play in shaping both their current wellbeing and the realisation of their future capabilities. Part of a larger multi-country programme of research in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, this study draws on qualitative and participatory research methodologies to assess the key threats to gender justice facing Khmer adolescent girls living in Viet Nam’s Mekong Delta region – and the types of programme and policy responses they believe would enhance the realisation of their full capabilities.

  • Study Abroad Programs & Deadlines
    Study Abroad Programs & Deadlines Semester Affiliated & Partner Programs Open Enrollment Programs Majority of E-town’s affiliated programs are Open Enrollment Programs. Any student, who meets the study abroad eligibility requirements of the College and the individual program, should be approved by E-town to attend any Open Enrollment program of their choice. Students applying for Open Enrollment Programs need to submit their Elizabethtown College study abroad application by the regular deadline. Applications for Open Enrollment Programs will be accepted on a rolling basis, so it’s never too early to submit your E-town study abroad application! Limited Enrollment Programs A smaller list of affiliated programs are Limited Enrollment (LE) Programs. These offerings are competitive programs. Several of them have a 3.0 minimum GPA requirement and/or a language prerequisite requirement. The LE designation indicates that a limited number of E-town students will be approved by the College to attend these programs each semester due to increased institutional costs and/or competitive placement. The program sites designed as LE will be determined on a year-to-year basis by the Study Abroad Office. The number of placements available at each site will also be determined on a year-to-year basis by the Study Abroad Office. While we will do our best to accommodate your interests - students are not guaranteed their first choice of LE Programs, even if they meet the College’s and program’s requirements. Approval to attend LE Programs is granted after extensive review and approval by the Director of the Center for Global Understanding and Peacemaking as well as the Study Abroad Advisor.
