Global Vietnam

Global Vietnam is an international, peer-reviewed open-access journal established by Engaging With Vietnam in collaboration with the Amsterdam University Press. It was founded by Phan Le Ha and Liam C. Kelley (founders of Engaging With Vietnam) in 2023 and is the first and only journal that is dedicated to engaging (with) Vietnam alongside global studies, taking into consideration local, global, transnational, transcontext, and trans/inter/multidisciplinary complexity, significance and relevance. It nurtures, introduces and features high quality scholarship crossing the social sciences, the humanities, the arts, and education in Vietnam-Global contexts, as well as through interdisciplinary and comparative approaches, themes and analyses that place Vietnam in dialogue with the world. 

The journal is responding to the growing and dynamic world of Vietnam scholars. In this spirit, the journal aspires to be a forum for new scholarship that is enabled and inspired by and arising from ever-evolving movements, encounters, and interactions among individuals, peoples, communities, ideas and forms of knowledge in the world and Vietnam’s links with the world across time and space. At the same time, it can also bring many strengths of area studies into a new mode of engagement which both deepens and places understandings of a place and/or the idea of a place in comparative and interdisciplinary dialogues with other contexts at all levels. 

The journal features a broad range of scholarship from emerging to established scholars from extremely diverse backgrounds globally. To set its unique agenda and to contribute to urgent calls to produce scholarly knowledge in multiple languages, the journal aims to also gradually publish a small number of articles in Vietnamese alongside English as the main language. In this spirit, the journal will be spearheading multilingual knowledge production. The journal publishes papers in varied forms which include individual concept papers, research articles, book reviews, debate and opinion pieces, and more. 

Global Vietnam is sponsored by National Chung Cheng University.
