International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies (IJHRCS), Vol. 10, No. 1, 2023

Abstract: Controlling state power - a prerequisite in every democracy - assures 'we the people' fundamental principles and prevents power abuse from public officials. Due to the characteristic of the political regime, this issue has not captured Vietnam and other socialist countries' attention. In the past, since the severe abuse of power threatened socialism, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and the State strived continuously to control state power from the Doi moi era (1986). This article analyses the premise triggering the escalating abuse of power for corruption in Vietnam since the Doi moi era. It then reveals the CPV and the state's achievements and limits in establishing controlling state power mechanisms over the last 30 years. From the ground, the paper suggests some initiatives to enhance the efficiency in controlling state power in Vietnam in the future.
