The reform aimed at streamlining the organizational apparatus and the implementation of a two-tier local government model have generated fundamental changes in the methods of mass mobilization, particularly those for ethnic minority communities. This article analyzes and evaluates recent studies on local governments’ approaches to mobilizing ethnic minorities in Vietnam. It also identifies the challenges and opportunities facing this activity in the country’s current stage of development. On that basis, the article proposes a number of solutions to develop innovative approaches to mobilizing ethnic minority communities in a manner consistent with the two-tier local government model, thereby improving governance effectiveness and strengthening the national unity bloc in the present context.
