A Multi-Actor Dialogue Model for Public Land Dispute Resolution in Vietnam
Over the last two decades, economic and regulatory reforms in Vietnam have stimulated a vibrant residential land market, an urban construction boom and an ascendant middle class. But these reforms have also unleashed waves of conflict over land. “Hot spots” have erupted where people directly, and sometimes violently, challenge state land policies and officials. Both courts and administrative dispute resolution agencies struggle to find lasting solutions to land disputes. This manual is an important output of the Foundation’s partnership with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and we hope it is useful for those interested in the multi-actor dialogue method and its application to land disputes.
