Summary:This article summarizes researches on ethnic groups and ethnic relations in Vietnam conducted from 1980 to the present. The author shows that ethnic relations in Vietnam since 1986 are basically good in spite of some rare flashpoints and hazards in recent years. In the current context, ethnic relations are gradually becoming complex; cohesion among some ethnic relations reflects close solidarity, the inter-ethnic groups and transnational scale included. The dissociation also appears due to communication and exchange, and emerging ethnic-religious communities in some populations. This article also shows that the previous studies had some limitations as follows: i) inadequate theoretical frameworks; ii) lack of holistic approaches; iii) limited empirical bases; iv) gaps in research content; and v) restrictions in research methodology.
