SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AS NATIONAL DOCTRINE: EXPERIENCE OF VIETNAM.

The paper considers the concept of sustainable development as a combination of three components - economy, society and ecology, in their unity. The implementation of the sustainable development concept in Vietnam during the period from 1992 to 2017 is analyzed. The problem of selecting indicators for monitoring and evaluating sustainable development is discussed. On the basis of quantitative and factual data, achievements are assessed and the difficulties encountered in the implementation of the sustainable development concept in Vietnam are identified. Prospective recommendations for maintaining dynamic balance between elements of the sustainable development triad are substantiated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
