Abstract

The present paper covers the socio-historical backdrop of the influence of basic political orientations, patriotism, national unity, human politics, and foreign politics on Vietnam’s political culture throughout its history, extending right to the present. A historical and analytical view examines theoretical frameworks and real-life examples of these values influencing political behaviour. Evidence has shown that these values produced national unity, led to the making of policies, and structured Vietnam's diplomatic approach, which assisted in Vietnamese independence and social-political stability.
