Overview

Qualitative study reveals nuanced national identity negotiation in Vietnamese university students, highlighting a balance between digital activism and regional cooperation.

Key Points

  • To examine how Vietnamese youth construct national identity amid Sino-Vietnamese geopolitical tensions, economic interdependence, and the rise of digital media.
  • Conducted two rounds of semi-structured interviews with 18 social sciences and humanities university students in Vietnam (N=18).
  • Analyzed qualitative interview transcripts using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis guided by social constructivism, everyday nationalism, collective memory, and social identity frameworks.
  • Participants actively negotiated national identity through digital activism and conscious consumer behaviors, interpreting maritime disputes through historical narratives of ancestral resistance.
  • Youth demonstrated analytical maturity by differentiating foreign state policies from individual citizens, balancing firm defense of sovereignty with support for economic interdependence and peace.
