He argues that farmers are affected by what may be called 'a triple challenge' of climate change, the adverse impacts of climate adaptation policies and market-induced capitalist expansion in Vietnam’s agriculture.
He uses four concepts - (i) multi-level and multi-actor governance and decentralisation in climate change, (ii) the politics of policy making, (iii) capacity and informality, and (iv) sustainable livelihood perspectives - to explore Vietnamese policy-making processes and institutions in climate change governance within which farmer livelihoods and numerous policy actors at different levels operate.
