PREAMBLE
1. The urgency of the topic
Now, in Vietnam, the formation and development of especial administrativeeconomic units are the urgent objective requirements for economic development in
the process of international economic integration. In fact, our country has many
favorable conditions to develop world-class special economic zones. Vietnam is
one of the 10 countries in the world with the highest index of coastline length, so
the construction of a number of special administrative - economic units to create
growth poles and institutional and policy trials as well as to make fly-wheel to
develop the economy is absolutely essential.
The policy, views, strategies and the socio-economic development plans on
the construction and development of Vietnam's special economic zones have been
adopted at the Party's VIII, XII and XI congresses. The XII Congress of the Party
continued to affirm "... to develop some opening economic zones and special
economic zones ...". Particularly, Resolution No. 11 / NQ-TW dated 03/6/2017 of
the Central Committee of Vietnam Communist Party on the completion of the
socialist-oriented market economy has been defined as: " to build a number of

special administrative and economic units with remarkable institutions in order to
create extreme growth and experimentation in renovating and perfecting the
organizational structure of the political system." To concretize this policy, Political
Bureau promulgated Issue Announcement No. 21-TB / TW dated March 22, 1977
on the projects on building Van Don special administrative and economic units
(Quang Ninh province), Northern Van Phong (Khanh Hoa province) and Phu Quoc
(Kien Giang province). The Constitution 2013, the Law on Local administrative
Organization in 2015, provides for a legal framework for the special
administrative-economic units’ construction by adding more regulations on special
administrative-economic units that were established by the National Assembly;
these are applied special economic and social mechanisms with the local
administrations.
At present, Vietnam has no special administrative and economic units.
Therefore, there are no administrative institutions reserved for special
administrative and economic units. The problem is that the requirements for the
formation and development of special administrative and economic units are
necessary and suitable to objective development requirements. Therefore, it is
necessary to build models and administrative institutions’ systems on special
administrative and economic units. In fact, there is no scientific research what has

fully and fully researched on the foundation of administrative institutions for
special administrative-economic units in Vietnam. However, the requirements for
the development of administrative-economic units, especially those of economy,
must be free in competition, and the administrative regime must be autonomous
and high accountable. This means that it is necessary to build a modern, superior
and standard administrative institution for special administrative and economic
units to meet the developmental requirements in practice.
