Overview

This article examines coordination governance to address trade-environment tensions in Vietnam, suggesting actionable reforms.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how legal systems can effectively coordinate environmental standards with trade competition in Vietnam.
  • Developed a coordination governance model using an adaptive coordination-transplant framework.
  • Applied comparative legal analysis of the European Union and Vietnam, focusing on the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
  • Identified gaps in Vietnam’s legal and compliance infrastructure regarding carbon-related trade obligations.
  • Vietnam's weakness is not the lack of environmental commitments but the absence of inter-ministerial coordination and compliance mechanisms.
  • Recommendations include establishing a Prime Minister–anchored coordination council and instituting green public procurement.
  • The article reframes trade-environment tensions as coordination failures, emphasizing the need for tailored legal reforms.
