dc.descriptionThe growing environmental crisis in Vietnam has largely been ignored in the academic literature, while most of the research has focused on China (see e.g. Kassiola and Guo 2010; Shapiro 2012; Zhang and Barr 2013; Ren and Shou 2013). Although the northern neighbor is much larger, it is still somewhat surprising considering that the country is the world’s 14th most populous nation with a population of almost 90 million. In merely two decades, Vietnam has industrialized and consequently significantly reduced poverty and improved the lives of the majority of the population. Unfortunately, in the process, the natural environment was often sacrificed. According to some estimates, air and water pollution alone has resulted in economic losses of up to 12 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) (Tran and Nguyen 2014). This happened even though there was an official discourse which increasingly emphasized environmental protection and sustainable development as an important national goal. Even as the Vietnamese government devoted much effort to developing and reforming environmental institutions and a sophisticated legal framework for environmental protection, the decline of the natural environment continued unabateden_US
