  • Americans in an Giang: Nation Building and the Particularities of Place in the Mekong Delta, 1966–1973
    research essay david biggs Americans in An Giang: Nation Building and the Particularities of Place in the Mekong Delta, 1966–1973 ince the calamitous end of the Vietnam War (1959–1975), nation build- Sing has often been a contentious issue in US foreign policy. Its means and ends in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Central America have been fiercely debated. American experiences in Vietnam are invariably cited in these later debates, but often the references are vague or misleading. Many con- temporary commentators seem unaware of the bureaucratic structures and processes through which the United States pursued its nation-building goals in Vietnam. In fact, during the Vietnam War the term “nation building” had a very concrete and specific meaning for Americans. It referred to a host of mili- tary and civilian programs managed jointly by a nation-building “czar” based in the White House and a deputy ambassador in Sài Gòn; civilian officials worked closely with their US military counterparts at all levels of the chain of command. At the same time, nation building also referred to a particular complex of ideas about modernization set forth by social science theorists, such as the economist Walt Rostow, who served as an adviser to both presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1967, much of the day-to-day work of nation building in Vietnam was placed under the auspices of the Office of Civil Operations and Revolutionary Development Support (CORDS), an interagency organization that managed the gamut of military and nonmilitary programs. CORDS took over preexisting Journal of Vietnamese Studies, Vol.

  • Postwar Restoration and Preparations for Collectivisation
    3 Postwar restoration and preparations for collectivisation Introduction Vietnam is one of the most bombed countries in world history. After three decades of war (1945–75), Vietnam inherited a devastated economy, society and ecology. Rural destruction in the southern half of Vietnam was especially severe, and thousands of villages were heavily affected by war. Millions of hectares of agricultural land were bombed repeatedly and, by 1975, according to a Vietnamese Communist Party (VCP) report, 560,000 hectares of cultivated land had been left untended.1 One and a half million buffaloes and oxen were killed.2 The south faced another postwar problem: massive urban unemployment. During the conflict, large numbers of rural refugees were moved or fled to cities and towns, where they often worked in military-related sectors of the economy. At war’s end, a majority of these refugees and soldiers and civil officials discharged by the government in Saigon were unemployed. According to VCP reports, the total urban population in 1975 was 7 million, of whom about 3 million (30 per cent) were unemployed.3 So, after the war, central 1 ĐCSVN (2004), Báo cáo của Bộ chính trị tại Hội nghị Trung Ương Đảng lần thứ 24 [Report of the Politburo at the 24th Party Central Committee Conference], in ĐCSVN, Văn Kiện Đảng Toàn Tập: Tập 36, 1975 [Party Document: Volume 36, 1975], Hà Nội: NXB Chính Trị Quốc Gia, p. 318. 2 Quang Truong, Agricultural collectivization, p. 155. 3 Ibid. 45 VIETNAM’S POST-1975 AGRARIAN REFORMS and local authorities emphasised the consolidation of political power and economic restoration.

  • Vietnam at the Khmer Frontier: Boundary Politics, 1802–1847
    Vietnam at the Khmer Frontier: Boundary Politics, 1802–1847 Vũ Đức Liêm, Hanoi National University of Education Abstract This article addresses the challenging spatial organization of Nguyễn Vietnam: the binary relationship between civilizational expansion and the construction of a state boundary at the Khmer frontier. It examines the process whereby the Vietnamese moved southwest into the Khmer world and territorialized a contested terrain as part of a civilizational and imperial project. The process employed the state’s administrative infrastructure and cultural institutions to erase ethnic, political, and cultural diversity in the lower Mekong. This article argues that Vietnamese expansion was not simply an attempt to carry out the will of heaven and Confucian cultural responsibility; rather, it was a search for peripheral security and a response to regional competition. In fact, the seesawing between civilizational mission and territorial consolidation confused the Nguyễn bureaucracy with regard to Cambodia’s political and cultural status and affected Hue’s frontier management. As a result, the Vietnam-Cambodia boundary was the object of frequent shifts and negotiations. Only after facing Siamese invasion and experiencing fierce Khmer resistance did the Vietnamese court gradually replace its civilizational perspective with a more practical approach to border management, out of which emerged the modern borderline. Keywords: Nguyễn dynasty, Vietnam-Cambodia boundary, history of cartography, lower Mekong Introduction For the early Nguyễn emperor Gia Long (r. 1802–1820), who emerged victorious from three decades of war following two centuries of division, and his heir, Minh Mệnh (r. 1820–1841), several urgent priorities were to unify Vietnam, extend the reach of the state, and secure the country’s borders, which entailed gaining control over both land and people.

Amongst them, riverbank erosion is a key problem of the An Giang province, caused by changes in hydrological and sediment characteristics because of hydropower devel- opment and sand exploitation in the upstream part. In this study, we investigated the riverbank changes by using the water extraction index based on the Landsat imagery data. Amongst three extraction indices, such as Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified Normalized Water Index (MNDWI), and Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI), AWEI was identified the suitable index for the study area replied on the assessment of the index performance in extracting the river- bank in the four test sites in An Giang province (An Phu District, Vinh Hoa District, Cho Moi District, and Vam Nao River). Based on that, AWEI was then used for riverbank extraction for the study area in the period 1989-2015. After using the AWEI riverbank extracting method, Linear Regression Rate (LRR) had been applied to estimate the rate of the riverbank changes in the study area.

  • Mekong Delta Floods
    Emergency appeal Viet Nam: Mekong Delta floods Emergency appeal n° MDRVN009 GLIDE n° FL-2011-000137-VNM 9 November 2011 This emergency appeal seeks CHF 1,107,185 in cash, kind, or services to support the Viet Nam Red Cross to assist 10,000 households (42,000 beneficiaries) for 12 months, and will be completed by end- October 2012. A final report will be made available by 31 January 2013, three months after the end of the operation. CHF 210,710 was allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support this operation. Un-earmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged. Since the end of September 2011, floods in the Mekong delta have swept through the seven provinces of An Giang, Dong Thap, Long An, Can Tho, Vinh Long, Hau Giang, and Kien Giang, causing significant losses and damages, especially to the first three provinces mentioned. Unlike the floods Viet Nam faces every year in the central region of the country, these Mekong delta floods have been slow onset, with water still covering large areas, paralysing the everyday life of affected communities and threatening their livelihoods. On 4 November 2011, the Central Committee for Storm and Flood Control (CCFSC) reported a total of 140,000 households (around 590,000 people) affected by the flood, in which 73 people have been reported dead (of which 65 are children), 91,465 houses damaged and 10,028 hectares of rice paddies lost. Needs assessments conducted by the VNRC national disaster response team (NDRT), as well As of early November, Viet Nam Red Cross has responded to as other organizations, enabled the national relief needs of safe water and non-food items with water society to obtain a clearer picture of the needs on purification tablets and household kits.
