Whistle-Blowers in Viet Nam : Possibilities and obstacles from an institutional perspective

This study aims to investigate, from an institutional perspective, the implications of thenew anti-corruption law in Viet Nam with a particular focus on its impact on civil societyand individual rights to report on corruption. The overarching research question is: How doformal and informal institutions affect whistle-blowers possibilities to engage in combat ofcorruption in Viet Nam? To blow the whistle in Viet Nam can be problematic, withconsequences such as loosing his/hers job and social exclusion. Whistle-blowers in VietNam today seem to have an insufficient confidence to official authorities. Moreover, aproblem of significance is that whistle-blowers have to state their name and contact detailswhen reporting on corrupt acts to competent agencies. Another problem is that civil societyis strongly connected to the CPV (Communist Party of Viet Nam).
