Angel investment is important for startups when they are in between the seed-stage and the early-stage because they need funds to grow rapidly. Angel investors, in addition to providing capital, normally function as strategic partners who provide capacity building, management knowledge and mentorship for startups. Angel investors accordingly benefit startups in many different ways, including the provision of funds. Vietnam is ranked third in Southeast Asia in terms of the number of active startups, most of which are in an early stage and therefore in need of funds from angel investors. The paper examines the concept of angel investment and the determinants that impact angel investors’ decisions. The paper then recommends implications so as to help build a mechanism to develop domestic angel investment activities and attract foreign angel investment into Vietnam.

Asean Economic Community

The birth of the ASEAN Community in 2007 has strengthened a long ignored part of ASEAN, i.e., humanitarian assistance and development. The three major pillars of the ASEAN Community have either direct or indirect influence on the institutional expansion and capacity building of ASEAN’s humanitarianism-related tasks. The direct influence is usually derived from the ASEAN Political and Security Community and the ASEAN Social and Cultural Community, while the indirect influence can rest on the advance of the ASEAN Economic Community. Meanwhile, leaders of ASEAN also work with extra-regional state and non-state actors to ensure the positive humanitarian development within the region of Southeast Asia. Yet, due to the principle of non-interference and the lack of resources, ASEAN’s early effort — mainly in capacity building — has apparently been less effective after the brief study of three cases.

Perspectives from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam show that South Korea’s middle power role in Southeast Asia is confined to economics and capacity building. Despite being absent from Southeast Asia’s geostrategic calculus, Korea’s non-revisionist inclination is seen to be advantageous in its pursuit of enhanced middle power status.

Republic of Korea’s engagement in Southeast Asia could be generally understood as its Official Development Aid (ODA) strategy in most academic interpretation. Nonetheless, this article examines not only Korea’s traditional ODA approach toward Southeast Asia but also Korea’s uniquely tailor-made strategy toward Indo-China Peninsula in particular as well as what is to be done. In other words, this article intends to take further step beyond ODA interpretation of this particular subject over this region. This study specifically provides with multi-dimensional analysis of Republic of Korea’s involvement in Mekong River Sub-region as well as its regional and global security policy implication. The main thesis of this study is that Korea had no choice but to pursue Niche diplomacy toward the region because Korea did not possess full capacity enough to compete against Japan or China. In this sense, Korea’s own development experience is very unique and perhaps the only experience that no other country in the world has possessed. This article contends that Korea’s knowledge based capacity building projects toward Greater Mekong Sub-region such as KSP, CIAT, special Master’s degree training projects, local capacity building process, and etc. will continue to increase and diversify in terms of scale and contents. Again, based upon Knowledge based capacity building projects, Korea is in the process of producing a wide range of its unique tailor- made ODA programs for each member states of GMS. Unlike Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Korea also tends to put more emphasis on creating exclusive Master’s degree Training Program which is centered on trainees of ODA Recipient countries. In this regard, Korea’s approach is aiming at strengthening discrimination by introducing a systemic evaluation system for training projects. This program will also turn out linchpin of ROK’s new strategy toward Mekong River area.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
