Abstract: Historically, Vietnam’s geographical power was more or less improved, partly due to the “Southward March” of the Vietnamese feudal government and the “Territorial Development” policy of the French colonialists. However, due to the low emphasis on private trade, limited foreign trade and more priority given to the mainland than to the sea, little investment in building technical infrastructure of the Vietnamese under the monarchy, the monopoly of foreign trade of the French colonial government as well as the country of Vietnam was always divided and warred, so the geographical potentials of Vietnam have not been properly exploited. From 1986 up to now, due to the renewal of geo-strategic awareness and actions, especially in proactive international integration, promoting investment in the development of sea and land infrastructure, the power of Vietnam’s geography is improving quite rapidly. However, geopolitical competition pressure from the East Sea (South China Sea) and Mekong Sub-region is increasing, particularly China’s ambition to monoplize the East Sea as well as the trend of gathering world forces on sides and axes, the decline of multilateralism and globalization due to strategic competition from major countries are creating great challenges for Vietnam's geographical power. In a new context, Vietnam can become a center for attracting foreign investment, a regional trade bridge, an “anchor” in security-defence in the Western Pacific-Indian Ocean. Conversely, Vietnam could become a geopolitical disaster because of its geographical and political sensitivities in the region. This largely depends on Vietnam's renewed efforts to expand its strategic space, both in geo-physical and cyberspace.

Abstract: This article comes about with the objective of analyzing the dilemmas that come out in the current configuration of power in Mozambique particularly in the decentralized governance. The main argument that guides this article is that in the Mozambican political scenario, there is a paradox in decentralized entities, because of geographical coincidence between the municipality and the district, and the spaces of governmental protection of each power are intertwined. However, this overlapping of powers at the local level, that is, the existence of local authorities, the provincial governor, the secretary of state in the province, in the places where there is a geographical coincidence between the municipality and the district forms a dilemma for the effective decentralized governance. The question that guides this research is: “What are the dilemmas arising from the decentralized governance package in Mozambique?” This article was developed from a qualitative approach, which privilege to the legal-multidisciplinary perspective, centered on the political history of Mozambique, observing the procedure of critical reflection from a political perspective of documents related to the process of decentralization in Mozambique. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that with the creation of the decentralized governance package in Mozambique, the central government intends to continue to control as it always did, the decentralized areas, by instituting the figure of the Secretary of State. This constitutes an adulteration or interference with the autonomy that decentralized areas enjoy by law.

Abstract: This research focused on examining the mechanisms of youth participation in governance in Kenya. The researchers limited their investigation to Tharaka Nithi county’s four sub-counties. The study used a concurrent triangulation mixed-method research design which involved both quantitative and qualitative data collection phases simultaneously, then analysing the results. A total of 156 respondents were involved, 39 from each sub-county. The findings of the study were that the majority of the participants obtained governance training through the civil societies, followed by mass media, then the community, then politicians, and lastly the chiefs, however, they were not adequately involved in governance processes. Participants were taught how to monitor and ensure the following; accountability, transparency, participation, efficiency, rule of law, effectiveness, and responsiveness. This has an implication that the youths were trained on civic engagement, accountable decision making, and effective public service delivery in the whole Tharaka Nithi County. The training improved the youth’s understanding of participation in governance. It was determined that 71.7% of the predictor factors account for training offered having improved the youth’s understanding of participation in governance in Tharaka Nithi County. There are however other factors other than the predictor factors that also accounted for the training offered having improved the youths’ understanding of participation in governance in Tharaka Nithi County. These unexplained factors account for 28.3%. The study, therefore, recommends that the youth be more involved in governance because they have sufficient training and can make rational decisions.
