The politics of Payment for Forest Ecosystem Services in Vietnam: Some initial thoughts

The Vietnamese government passed a national policy on Payment for Forest Ecosystem Services (PFES) in 2010, claiming that PFES has effectively addressed deforestation while substantially benefiting a large number of upland poor ethnic minority villagers. Contrary to the international literature on Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), which has highlighted the underlying market-based principles and the retreat of the state, in Vietnam, the state continues to play a dominant role in the management of PES. The research proposal, therefore, try to examine PES ideas and practices in Vietnam, which is known as a specific socialist developing country, by using the view of political ecology.
