About

Hello, I’m Nguyễn Khắc Giang, a Vietnamese writer and researcher. I’m currently a Visiting Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. (https://www.iseas.edu.sg/about-us/researchers/nguyen-khac-giang/)

I used to work as a journalist in Hanoi, before moving to academia as a political researcher for Vietnam Institute of Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) where I was formerly its head of Political Research Unit. I obtained my PhD in Political Science from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, where I compared the Vietnamese and Chinese political developments and state capacity during the Reform era. My thesis can be found here.

I’m also a research fellow at Vietnam Center for Economic and Strategic Studies (VESS). I comment on Vietnamese affairs and write extensively for major Vietnamese and English news outlets. 

My areas of interest are Vietnam and Asian affairs.

My latest CV (July 2022) is here.
