Tin tức mới nhất về: Land border region

Abstract: This article analyzes the mobilization of ethnic cultural values as economic resources in Vietnam’s land border regions through a comparative study of two cases: the Hmong people in Then Pa village and the black Lo Lo people in Lo Lo Chai village, Lung Cu commune, Tuyen Quang province. Based on the theoretical framework of cultural capital and ethnographic methods, the study examines the various mechanisms by which cultural practices, knowledge, architecture, cuisine and social institutions are transformed into livelihood strategies. The research findings reveal diversity in the pathways of cultural capital transformation, while also highlighting the role of community organizations and community control in shaping sustainable economic development models.
