- Title_Assessing the Economic Efficiency of Transitioning from Conventional to Organic Methods for Orange Cultivation among Farms in Tuyen Quang Province, Vietnam Author_Do Hai Yen Pages_11-23 Abstract_This study aimed to assess the economic efficiency of transitioning orange cultivation from conventional to organic methods among orange farms in Tuyen Quang Province. Descriptive and comparative statistics were employed alongside surveys and interviews conducted with 60 orange farms. This sample comprised 30 farms utilizing conventional production methods and another 30 farms using organic methods. These methods were used to assess and compare the economic efficiency of organic orange cultivation with traditional approaches. The research findings reveal that using organic methods for orange cultivation yields superior economic efficiency compared to conventional approaches. Farms utilizing organic methods generate an income of 101,7 million VND per hectare per year, whereas those employing conventional methods earn only 63,6 million VND per hectare per year. Consequently, cultivating organic oranges proves to be 1.6 times more profitable than using conventional methods. Moreover, the study suggests several solutions for scaling up the organic orange cultivation model throughout Tuyen Quang province.

- Title_The Historical Construction the Ideas and Policies of U.S. “Cultural Diplomacy” in the Framework of the “Good Neighbor Policy”: A Neoliberal Institutionalist Perspective Author_Yu Sun Pages_1-10 Abstract_The global dissemination of American culture in the twentieth century was an important source of the “soft power” of the United States. However, compared with European countries such as Britain and France, the U.S. federal government intervened in cultural dissemination affairs relatively late. From the theory of neoliberal institutionalism put forward by Goldstein and Keohane, it can be found that the emergence of American “cultural diplomacy” is a result of the change of American “worldview”, “principled beliefs” and “causal beliefs” in foreign relations. The concept of “cultural diplomacy” was embedded in the framework of American foreign policy along the path of institutionalization, forming the “Good Neighbor Policy”, which is the result of the reconstruction of American “worldview”, “principled beliefs” and “causal beliefs” in foreign relations in the 1930s. Under the “Good Neighbor Policy”, the Division of Cultural Relations and the Office for Cooperation in Inter-American Affairs were established, along with various a variety of cultural exchange programs. With the coming of World War II, the tension between cultural internationalism and cultural nationalism within the U.S. “cultural diplomacy” became increasingly prominent. Eventually, after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. federal government formally incorporated “cultural diplomacy” into the framework of its national foreign strategy, which also marked a shift in the concept and policy of “cultural diplomacy”.
