About

Hello, I’m Nguyễn Khắc Giang, a Vietnamese writer and researcher. 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’m currently a PhD candidate at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, where I compare the Vietnamese and Chinese political developments and state capacity during the Reform era.

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.
