“…Primarily, policy lessons from similar cultural settings are more likely to be adopted. This explains why Vietnam’s merit-based policy is more similar to China than other countries (Duong, 2022c). Importantly, culture can relate to policy success/failure as it matters in policy implementation.…”

“…Given Vietnam's merit-based policy transfer is voluntary, it aims to realize economic reform and enhance the ruling regime's legitimacy (Duong, 2022b). Accordingly, Vietnam has learned from both Western and Asian countries with a pragmatic "pick and choose" and "mix and match" strategy, but eventually their policy is more similar to Asian countries, particularly China, than Western countries (Duong, 2022a(Duong, , 2022c. As Vietnam possesses a diverse culture with the combination of Confucian, Western, and socialist values, it provides a good case for studying the relevance of culture in policy transfer.…”

Culture has long been recognized and conceptualized as an important and indispensable influencing factor in policy transfer. However, inadequate attention has been devoted to the study of culture in this area of scholarship. Using qualitative data, mainly from interviews with policy-makers and policy-takers in Vietnam, this paper examines the relevance of culture in Vietnam’s merit-based policy transfer. It indicates how the conceptualization of culture is significant to policy transfer analysis. It also shows that culture at all levels—macro, meso, and micro—can influence both the policy transfer process and the outcomes. At the same time, it contends that despite this important role, culture acts more as a joint-influencing factor than a sole determinant in policy transfer. This paper argues that a multi-level and culture-sensitive approach to cultural analysis in policy transfer is a key to understand the dynamics of culture in the process.

“…Ethnic minority civil servants have a positive influence on ethnic minorities through customs, practices, and community activities. They are leaders and managers in ethnic minority communities, their ideas and actions are persuasive and can attract people to implement ( Hang, 2022). The Khmer ethnic group in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam has a fairly large number, living in most of the provinces and cities in the region, with nearly 1.3 million Khmer people, accounting for nearly 7% of the population .…”

Research data were collected from survey results by questionnaires from 875 survey samples in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the emergence of science, technology and innovation (STI) institutions in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies colonial period in 1778–1941. The emergence of these institutions reflected the dynamics of science and technology development and innovation in that era. Design/methodology/approach This paper navigates a historiographical approach. Data collection techniques use “secondary data research,” with archival investigation published by official sources in the Dutch East Indies in the 18th and 19th centuries as well as other reference sources, and data analysis techniques use “supplementary analysis.” Findings This research indicates that the STI institution during the Dutch East Indies colonial period was formed to maximize the natural resources of the Dutch East Indies. The STI institution at that time was constructed as part of Buitenzorg’s Plantentuin the lands, plantations, solutions for health, astronomy, geology, forestry and culture. Research limitations/implications The limitations of this research, as well as future research. Relying too much on “secondary data” is a limitation of this study. Therefore, it is necessary to collect primary data through in-depth interviews with historical scientists studying STIs in Indonesia in future research. Originality/value This study, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, considered the first study, reveals the dynamics of STI in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies colonial era by examining the dynamics of the institution. In addition, this study succeeded in dividing five institutional STI clusters in the Dutch East Indies Colonial period 1778–1941, namely, units/institutions formed as part of Planuntungin te Buitenzorg; units/institutions formed based on plantations, initiated by private plantations to find solutions to the pests and diseases that attack their crops; units/institutions formed to seek solutions in the health sector; units/institutions formed based on astronomy, geology and forestry; and units/ institutions regarded as scientific councils/associations.
