<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Verdana; line-height:18px">Over the last few years Vietnam has experienced impressive growth in online media uptake including social media and political blogging.
Much attention has focussed on the government’s continued control over Internet access and crackdowns on users, which have slowed down the transition process. More recently, the government’s loosening of controls on online media use and activism has raised
the question of whether this positive shift signals a real long-term change of heart or is simply a tactical move to use online media channels for its short-term political objectives.</span></div>

<div><font face="Verdana"><span style="line-height:18px">As there is some confusion and uncertainty about the nature of this policy shift, it is important not only to look at what’s going on, but also to understand how and why this interesting change has come
about. For an explanation of this shift and some notion of its implications for future developments, this presentation will put this complex issue in perspective in order to see the deeper political dynamics. Under certain conditions, the inconsistency and
adhocracy of public policy decisions might have been influenced by factionalism, conflict of interests, pressure and fear. Sometimes, a new opportunity might be an unintended consequence of other events. </span></font></div>
