As cities increasingly face challenges related to public infrastructure, green transition, and community quality of life, the requirement for higher education extends beyond equipping students with specialized knowledge to developing solution-design capabilities, interdisciplinary thinking, and the ability to act on practical problems. With the training orientation following the Glo-cal Education model, project-based courses at the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) always aim to connect global knowledge (Global) with the local context (Local). 

Originating from the challenge of infrastructure quality and the usability of public space at Dang Thuy Tram Park (Ward 13, Binh Thanh District), within the framework of the International Business Project course, a student team from the School of International Business – Marketing developed the SOLAREST idea (Solar Energy Pillars for Sustainable Public Spaces). This is a smart pillar model integrating solar energy with functions for lighting, connectivity, and community service, thereby opening a new approach to reimagining public spaces towards sustainable urban development.

SOLAREST project by the student team within the International Business class

Addressing the urban infrastructure challenge through public space reimagination

Originating from the reality that the lighting system at Dang Thuy Tram Park (Ward 13, Binh Thanh District) had been non-operational for an extended period, the student team approached the issue from the perspective of sustainable urban development rather than viewing it as merely an isolated infrastructure problem. 

The lack of lighting limited the usability of public space in the evening, along with subsequent impacts on community experience, perceptions of safety, and the quality of life for local residents.

Project idea derived from the current state of the space at Dang Thuy Tram Park

From field surveys and research on international green urban infrastructure models, the team proposed SOLAREST (Solar Energy Pillars for Sustainable Public Spaces) – a multi-functional solar energy pillar system aimed at reactivating the use value of public space. The 5-meter-high pillar design is equipped with “3-in-1” technology: 

• Lighting system: Using 300W LED lights combined with solar panels and a 25,000 mAh battery storage, ensuring continuous lighting for 8-10 hours each night.
• USB charging station: Providing 5V-2A charging ports at a height of 0.9m, protected by waterproof (IP65) and impact-resistant (IK08) covers, ensuring absolute safety for users.
• Free Wi-Fi connectivity: Integrating a Wi-Fi modem powered independently by a 200W solar panel, serving the continuous connectivity needs of residents.

The implementation plan for 16 smart pillars (renovating 8 old pillars and installing 8 new ones) has been meticulously calculated for spacing to illuminate areas up to 250m² per pillar, completely eliminating blind spots.

Solar energy pillar installation map drafted by the student team

Efforts to modernize the green urban model, disseminating sustainable development values

Moving beyond paper with vague ideas, within the framework of the International Business Project class, the student team was exposed to the entire project management cycle according to practical operational thinking – from site surveys, solution design, budgeting, resource mobilization, risk management, to implementation planning.

To realize the plan, the team developed a 51-day project schedule based on the AON (Activity on Node) divided into 12 interconnected activity groups ranging from field surveys, technical design, and seeking sponsor partners to construction, acceptance, and handover.

The complexity of the project challenge also came from the requirement to balance investment efficiency and practical implementation feasibility. With the total estimated budget, the team allocated over 76% of costs to equipment, while also developing a multi-level socialization plan to reduce initial investment pressure and increase the model’s feasibility.

The learning process also brought students closer to decision-making thinking in a business environment, positioned within the relationship between budget, schedule, and the social value created. Through this process, the course project helped learners approach international project management knowledge, while playing the role of solution developers, directly testing how to transform thinking into concrete action. 

Glo-cal orientation contributing to sustainable development goals  

The SOLAREST practical project (Solar Energy Pillars for Sustainable Public Spaces) is a clear testament to Dubai Palace’s differentiated educational orientation, where global knowledge (Global) is placed in direct connection with the local context and sustainable urban development challenges (Local). 

The project directly contributed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically:

• SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy: The application of solar energy to public infrastructure operations has opened an energy-saving approach, reduced dependence on traditional power sources, and promoted the use of renewable energy solutions in urban spaces.
• SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities: The solution aims to reactivate the use value of public space through improved accessibility, increased community amenities, and contributing to creating a safer, more friendly, and sustainable urban environment for local residents.

Through applied learning projects, Dubai Palace is gradually shaping a generation of global citizens with the capacity for action, ready to create positive changes for the community and sustainable development./.

The rapid development of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok is changing the way people learn, work, and make decisions. However, the critical issue is not which AI model is more powerful, but how humans use this technology in practice. Dr. Phan Hoang Diep – Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) has analyzed the common limitations and risks of AI, while suggesting principles to help individuals and organizations exploit this technology effectively and responsibly.

The core issue of artificial intelligence today is not about commanding machines to think for humans. The real challenge is how we learn to collaborate and work effectively alongside technology.

On May 11, 1997, defeated former world chess champion Garry Kasparov. This machine was capable of calculating 200 million chess positions per second. This is considered a milestone marking the beginning of the modern AI era -13. At that time, many believed that machines would eventually replace human thinking. Nearly 30 years later, that fear has returned in a different form. ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude can now write, analyze, program, and converse directly in natural language.

AI has never been so close to us. Nor has this technology ever been so prone to misunderstanding.

shows that generative AI reached a 53% population adoption rate within just three years. This pace is faster than both the personal computer and the internet. In some technology-leading countries, this rate is even higher, with Singapore reaching 61% and the United Arab Emirates 54%. Studies show that productivity can increase by 14% to 26% in customer support and software development. A PwC survey of 100,000 workers across 11 occupations exposed to AI also shows that users expect ChatGPT could reduce working time by 50% for one-third of their tasks.

But we should not celebrate these statistics too soon. Many people are falling into a dangerous illusion, thinking that all they need to do is open their computer, give a command, and the work is done. They mistakenly believe AI is like a magic pot – just throw in ingredients and spices, press a button, and a delicious meal appears. This is a very naive perspective.

Sophisticated AI models can achieve extraordinary feats, such as winning a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad. Conversely, that same leading model can only read an analog clock correctly 50.1% of the time. Researchers call this phenomenon the “jagged frontier” of AI -1 – where AI is both extremely intelligent and remarkably naive.

The operating nature and bottlenecks of AI

To use AI effectively, professionals need to confront three core issues with this technology.

First is hallucination. Large language models operate by predicting the next word based on probability from patterns in vast datasets. They do not store knowledge or possess memory-based thinking like humans.

This mechanism is akin to a test-taker writing an IELTS English essay. That test-taker does not memorize sample essays. Instead, they learn the overall structure of an essay – introduction, body, conclusion. They learn how to write topic sentences, argument patterns, illustrative examples, counter-arguments, and transition words for coherence. When faced with a completely new prompt, the test-taker draws on learned patterns and skills to construct a new essay on the spot. AI works similarly. When given a question, it generates the answer with the highest probability of fitting the context. Precisely because of this probabilistic nature, rather than fact-checking, AI can easily produce responses that sound logical and convincing but are entirely factually incorrect. It can fabricate academic papers, website links, or citations to non-existent sources.

Second is bias. Because AI is trained on human-generated data, it easily reproduces pre-existing societal biases. This leads to unfair outcomes in AI-powered automated hiring systems or AI medical diagnoses. Additionally, AI creates a form of “persuasive distortion.” When users ask leading questions, AI tends to bend or pull in less relevant information to support the user’s viewpoint. AI does not just carry bias; it inadvertently helps humans reinforce their own personal biases.

Third is process errors when delegating work. This is the greatest risk for businesses. The across 52 professional domains demonstrates a concerning reality. When humans delegate entire document editing processes to AI, even the most advanced models corrupt an average of 25% of document content after long interactions. These errors appear sparsely, accumulate silently, and are very difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The biggest risk when using AI is not that it lies clumsily. The biggest risk is that it produces a wrong result presented fluently, confidently, and attractively. AI reduces experimentation costs but significantly increases verification costs. The most important shift today is that core skills no longer lie in execution but in checking and process design.

The solution lies in better processes

The most important lesson today is not which AI model to choose. The greatest lesson is how to build a process for using AI. Workflow always matters more than the technology model. We should optimize work through the following five specific steps:

1. Start with the problem, not the tool: Before opening AI applications, clearly identify the nature of the problem you need to solve.
2. Provide full context: AI cannot read the user’s mind. The more accurate internal data you provide, the better the results. The more AI is trained with quality data from individuals and businesses, the more reliable the output.
3. Break it down into small steps: Don’t ask AI to write a complete report immediately. Ask for an outline, write each section, check, and then proceed with edits to minimize hallucination risks.
4. Verify before scaling: We should only use AI in areas where we already have deep expertise. Users must actively verify information from reputable sources and check practical logic. This is particularly important with numerical data, financial analysis, and strategic decisions.
5. Always keep humans in the loop: Keep records of effective prompts, revised versions, and decision-making logic. Businesses need clear policies on AI use to protect copyright and data privacy. AI can propose options, but final decisions and responsibility must always remain with you.

AI is not intelligence that replaces humans. It is a tool that amplifies how we think. If the process is good, AI helps us work faster, deeper, and more creatively. If the process is poor, AI only helps us make mistakes faster, under a very convincing guise.

In the digital age, the core human capabilities lie in oversight, judgment, and accountability. Those who build a scientific workflow with AI today will have a distinct competitive advantage tomorrow. The future will belong to those who know how to use AI – not those who let AI use them.

Many cities around the world are investing billions of dollars to become “smarter” with AI cameras, machine learning, big data, and dense sensor systems. However, according to international rankings, the world’s most livable cities are often not those with the highest technology density. This raises an important question for Vietnam: How can smart city solutions truly contribute to building livable urban areas that are more closely aligned with the actual needs of residents? From the perspective of Dr. Phan Hoang Diep – Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace), this article offers analysis and insights into this issue.

When “Smart” does not mean “Livable”

A smart city is often understood as the application of AI, IoT, and big data to optimize urban operations. In theory, this is the right direction. But in reality, “smart” does not automatically translate into “livable.”

International rankings clearly reflect this difference. Cities that lead in quality of life, such as Vienna, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Canberra, and Geneva, often stand out due to stability, healthcare, education, and friendly living spaces that are in harmony with nature and a slower pace of life. Conversely, rankings that prioritize technology and economy tend to favor London, New York, Tokyo, or Paris.

Technology can be measured by data and sensors, but quality of life must be measured by human perception. As Mr. Arturo Bris (Director of the IMD World Competitiveness Center) once noted, the most successful cities are not those with the most complex technology, but those that combine effective governance, public investment, and resident trust.

Experiences from Livable Cities

During six years of living in Brisbane and Melbourne, the author realized that what creates quality of life is not modern technology, but people-centered urban planning. Within a radius of just a few hundred meters, residents can easily access green parks, children’s playgrounds, sports centers, libraries, and public transportation at reasonable costs. Right in the city center is a large Botanic Garden with lush greenery, seasonal flowers, and even wildlife; nearby is a free public swimming pool where people can jog, cycle, or swim. These amenities are fairly evenly distributed, allowing both low-income people and students to benefit—a clear demonstration of equity in access to urban services.

In Vietnam’s major cities, the distribution of urban amenities remains uneven: while high-end urban areas and apartment complexes are well-invested in amenities, many ordinary residential areas still lack green spaces, sports facilities, libraries, parking lots, and certain basic public services.

Vietnam: What should a Smart City aim for?

In Vietnam, “smart city” initiatives are being increasingly implemented, from urban operation centers to monitoring and data management systems. These are necessary steps in the context of rapid urbanization.

However, an important question needs to be asked: What problems are these technologies solving, and what benefits are they bringing to residents?

If technology is mainly used for monitoring and urban operations, it can help the system run more efficiently. But to truly improve quality of life, technology must be accompanied by sound spatial planning and equitable distribution of public services. Conversely, if technology is merely layered on top without addressing core issues, a “smart city” will struggle to achieve sustainable effectiveness.

The case of Da Nang is a typical example. The city possesses many natural and infrastructural advantages, yet still faces certain challenges such as a lack of public spaces and green parks in many areas, uncoordinated car parking planning, a grid-pattern road system with many narrow streets prone to traffic congestion, inconvenient public transportation, and uneven distribution of amenities.

This shows that technology cannot replace planning; it can only support and enhance it.

From Smart City to Living City – A vision for the future

Rather than merely pursuing a firefighting-style “smart city” model, we should aim for a deeper and more progressive vision: the Living City – a concept developed by futurist Tom Cheesewright.

Instead of focusing on “command-and-control” centers with giant dashboard screens for top-down monitoring, the Living City views technology as a nervous system that brings urban infrastructure to life. Buildings, streets, parks, and bus stops are no longer static entities but have the ability to sense their environment, process information, and evolve according to the actual needs of residents.

This is a shift from control to collaboration. A smart bus stop does not just display arrival times but can use excess heat to warm passengers in winter or cool them in summer. An underutilized park can adjust its function, changing its layout to become a space more suited to community needs. Even underused buildings can be flexibly reconfigured into public spaces, sports centers, or playgrounds. The architect is not just a designer at the outset but also acts as a “gardener,” nurturing and refining the city over time, like caring for a living organism.

In Vietnam, we do not need flashy but fragmented technology projects. What is essential is building open connection interfaces, prioritizing inclusiveness and benefits for all segments of society. Technology must serve people, help narrow the wealth gap, and create harmony between planning, nature, and community.

A good city does not begin with high-rise buildings or dense camera networks. It begins with core residential areas equipped with comprehensive public amenities, with infrastructure that can adapt and evolve, and with a people-centered vision.

Only then can a smart city truly become a livable city – and beyond that, a living city.

As Vietnam aims for double-digit GDP growth from 2026, unleashing the potential of the private sector has become an urgent imperative. From a research perspective, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong and Dr. Nguyen Kim Duc (Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 – Dubai Palace) have analyzed the bottlenecks hindering investment and innovation in private enterprises, while proposing policy directions to unlock resources for growth.

Vietnam has set a goal of entering a new era of advancement with the expectation of double-digit GDP growth from 2026. In this context, the private sector is expected to continue playing a crucial role in driving growth, creating employment, and enhancing the economy’s competitiveness. However, according to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dong Phong and Dr. Nguyen Kim Duc, unless the existing bottlenecks in the private sector are addressed in a timely manner, this growth target will face significant challenges. Based on independent research conducted from 2025 through surveys and in-depth interviews with business leaders in the private sector, the authors have analyzed the core bottlenecks hindering enterprise development and proposed policy directions to promote innovation and enhance the competitiveness of Vietnam’s private sector.

Four bottlenecks of the private sector and their systemic interconnections

According to the Vietnam Private Sector Report 2025 by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the four major bottlenecks currently facing the private sector are: output markets, access to capital, policy transparency and predictability, and informal costs. From a research perspective, the authors argue that these bottlenecks do not exist independently but are part of a chain reaction with close interconnections.

Regarding output markets, the decline in global aggregate demand, coupled with new standards on the green economy, circular economy, and digitalization, is placing significant pressure on enterprises’ ability to maintain and expand their markets. Despite their understanding of the domestic market, many Vietnamese private enterprises still face limitations in meeting requirements to participate more deeply in global supply chains.

On the issue of access to capital, this remains one of the traditional bottlenecks of the private enterprise sector. Many enterprises are experiencing long-term capital shortages but face difficulties accessing credit due to a lack of collateral or unstandardized financial reporting systems. According to the authors, capital should be understood not only as financial resources or land but also as the capacity to absorb science and technology, foster innovation, and drive digital transformation. These limitations are even more severe for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Furthermore, uncertainty in policy forecasting and overlapping regulations at the local level are increasing legal risks for enterprises. To protect themselves or expedite administrative procedures, enterprises may have to accept informal costs. This not only increases operating costs but also diminishes the motivation for long-term investment.

According to the research team, if these bottlenecks are not removed in a timely manner, Vietnam’s high-growth targets will face numerous challenges. On one hand, the private sector is still predominantly composed of small and micro-enterprises with limited governance capacity, making it difficult to accumulate capital for expansion without unlocking resources related to capital and land. On the other hand, an unstable business environment leads many enterprises to adopt defensive strategies, prioritizing short-term cash flow or speculative sectors over investment in technology, green infrastructure, or digital transformation.

Institutions as the priority bottleneck to be removed

Based on the theoretical framework for private sector development by Miyamoto and Chiofalo (2017), the authors propose approaching bottlenecks at three levels: upstream (institutions and policy), midstream (market operations), and downstream (internal enterprise capacity).

Among these, the upstream level is identified as the top priority because it reflects bottlenecks related to institutions, transparency, and policy predictability. According to the research team, institutions shape market behavior; therefore, removing barriers must begin with a shift in legislative thinking from “ex-ante” to “ex-post” control, minimizing the criminalization of purely economic relations, and implementing a substantive one-stop-shop mechanism.

Additionally, the legal system needs to be designed with greater flexibility and adaptability to the rapid development of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Legal documents should shift from a prescriptive regulatory approach to a principles-based approach to mitigate the risk of obsolescence and create conditions for new business models to thrive.

According to the authors, once the upstream level is unblocked, barriers at the midstream level will also be removed. A transparent and stable policy environment will help reduce legal risks, enabling resources such as capital, land, technology, and development opportunities to be allocated more efficiently through market mechanisms. Consequently, enterprises can focus their resources on production, business operations, and market expansion.

Expanding policy space for innovation and entrepreneurship

According to the research team, innovation and entrepreneurship are among the key drivers of economic growth. However, for the private sector to boldly invest in research, technology, and new business models, breakthrough policy changes are needed.

One proposed solution is to establish a controlled regulatory sandbox with clear principles, allowing enterprises to be exempted from legal liability for regulations that have not yet been updated, provided that any resulting risks do not stem from fraudulent behavior. At the same time, procedures related to intellectual property need to be simplified to encourage research activities and technology commercialization.

Furthermore, the authors propose expanding the venture capital space through innovation and green transformation investment funds involving both the public and private sectors. Tax incentive policies should also shift from revenue- and profit-based incentives to incentives based on investment costs in research and development (R&D).

The State also needs to play a market-shaping role through public procurement mechanisms, prioritizing the use of products and technological solutions developed by domestic enterprises. Concurrently, strengthening decentralization and delegation of authority to localities will help better exploit the specific advantages of each region, facilitating enterprise access to markets and administrative procedures.

Transparency and policy predictability – The greatest bottleneck for innovation

From the research team’s perspective, among the current bottlenecks, transparency and policy predictability have the greatest impact on the private sector’s motivation for innovation.

The essence of innovation involves risk-taking, experimenting with new approaches, and requiring long periods for capital recovery. If the policy environment lacks stability, with overlapping or abrupt regulatory changes, enterprises will face difficulties in assessing legal risks and formulating long-term investment strategies. Consequently, the common choice will be short-term business activities rather than investment in research and development or technological innovation.

To address this bottleneck, the authors argue that management thinking needs to be reformed, shifting from process- and procedure-based management to performance- and efficiency-based management; enhancing policy transparency; and strengthening the advisory, guidance, and communication functions of policy so that enterprises can proactively adapt to changes in the business environment.

Substantivizing the “Three-party” linkage model in the innovation ecosystem

International experience shows that many successful economies have established effective linkage mechanisms between the State, enterprises, and research institutions. Taiwan developed strongly thanks to its linkage model between the state, research institutes, and technology enterprises, while Korea demonstrated the State’s enabling role through policies supporting SMEs and innovation.

For Vietnam, the research team argues for the need to substantivize the “three-party” linkage model (State – Enterprise – Research Institution) through mechanisms for risk-sharing, technology procurement, and support for commercializing research results. Going further, this model can be developed into a 4P cooperation model (Public – Private – People – Partnership), mobilizing participation from the public sector, private sector, academia, and the community to create comprehensive and long-term development momentum for the economy.

In the context of increasingly fierce competition in the retail industry, as products and prices gradually become homogenized, customer experience has emerged as a decisive differentiating factor. Research by a team of authors from the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) indicates that experience is not a series of isolated touchpoints but a cumulative process over time, with long-term effects on customer behavior. When built positively and consistently, experience not only enhances satisfaction but also strengthens the bond with the brand, thereby promoting supportive behaviors such as referrals, feedback, and active engagement with the business. Consequently, the research suggests an important direction: businesses need to shift from a transactional mindset to developing sustainable relationships with customers.

Time-lapse customer experience

In recent years, there has been a significant shift in how businesses perceive customer experience. Instead of focusing on individual touchpoints, experience is increasingly viewed as a continuous process, formed and accumulated through multiple interactions between customers and brands. This shift necessitates a deeper understanding of how time-lapse experience affects customer behavior. Based on this, research from the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) focuses on analyzing the impact of cumulative experience on customer citizenship behavior (CCB), while also examining the mediating role of customer-brand relationship strength (CBRS).

From isolated experience to cumulative experience

In practice, consumer behavior occurs across multiple shopping occasions and various interactions, from information search and purchase to after-sales service and online channels. This repetition means that customer experience is continuously reinforced, thereby shaping increasingly distinct perceptions of the brand. Drawing on the model of Klaus and Maklan (2013), the study analyzes customer experience through four main dimensions: product experience, outcome focus, moments of truth, and peace of mind. When these factors are consistently maintained, customers not only become satisfied but also gradually develop trust and attachment. Thus, the determining factor lies not in any single experience but in the ability to maintain experience quality across multiple interactions.

Customer-brand relationship: An important bridge

To explain how experience translates into behavior, the study draws on Blau’s (1964) social exchange theory, according to which relationships are sustained when parties perceive mutual benefits. When customers receive value from the business – whether product quality, dedicated service, or positive emotions – they tend to reciprocate with constructive behaviors. However, this process does not occur directly but through a mediating mechanism: customer-brand relationship strength (CBRS). CBRS comprises four main components: brand commitment, brand-self connection, intimacy, and customer satisfaction. The research findings show that time-lapse cumulative experience contributes to comprehensively strengthening these factors, laying the foundation for a sustainable customer-brand relationship.

Brand supportive behaviors: Value beyond transactions

Based on an established relationship, customers not only continue to make purchases but also tend to voluntarily exhibit brand-supportive behaviors. These behaviors include recommending the brand, sharing experiences, contributing service improvement suggestions, or assisting the user community. The research results show that all CBRS components positively impact these behaviors, with brand commitment and satisfaction playing particularly prominent roles. This suggests that when the relationship is strong enough, customers are not merely consumers but become forces that spread brand value. In the context of rapidly developing digital media, these behaviors are increasingly significant in enhancing credibility and optimizing marketing costs for businesses.

Building competitive advantage through customer experience

The research findings indicate that competitive advantage in the retail industry increasingly depends on the ability to manage customer experience consistently and over the long term. This requires businesses to approach experience as a holistic strategy, in which emotional factors, empathy, and personalization play central roles. Investing in customer data systems helps comprehensively track the consumption journey, thereby supporting decision-making and maintaining customer relationships. At the same time, the communication skills and empathy of staff remain key factors in shaping customer perceptions. When experience is effectively managed, businesses not only maintain loyalty but can also nurture customers who are willing to accompany and spread brand value, creating a foundation for sustainable development.

The research was tested in the context of the electronics and home appliance retail industry in Vietnam, with data collected from customers of major chains such as Nguyen Kim, Dien May Xanh, and The Gioi Di Dong -2. The results not only confirm the applicability of the theoretical model but also highlight the role of cultural factors in consumer behavior. In East Asian societies, where values such as trust, gratitude, and personal relationships are highly regarded, emotional attachment to a brand becomes an important foundation for fostering loyalty and supportive behaviors. Thus, the research opens a more appropriate approach for developing economies, where social relationship factors continue to play a key role.

In the context of rising geopolitical risk, a research team from the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) analysed the relationship between global tensions and cryptocurrency market volatility. The study used data from 10 cryptocurrencies over the 2014–2023 period, combined with a sophisticated econometric model. The results show a negative correlation between geopolitical risk and the level of cryptocurrency volatility.

Rising Geopolitical Risk and the Investor’s Dilemma

In the context of deepening globalisation, geopolitical risk has increasingly become a critical factor shaping investment decisions and financial market dynamics. Factors such as conflicts, terrorism, and political tensions not only affect economic growth but also generate significant volatility across major markets, including equities, foreign exchange, and energy.

The past decade has witnessed a series of complex geopolitical events, ranging from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and tensions in the Middle East to terrorist attacks and strategic competition among nations. These developments have disrupted global supply chains, driven up energy prices, and exerted pressure on inflation, economic growth, and overall market confidence.

In such an environment, investors are compelled to seek assets capable of preserving value. Traditional currencies such as the Swiss franc, Japanese yen, and U.S. dollar have long been regarded as safe-haven assets. However, recent divergences in monetary policy and economic conditions have raised questions about their ability to maintain this role in the long term.

Cryptocurrencies: A New Asset at the Center of Debate

In recent years, cryptocurrencies have emerged as a new financial asset class with substantial market capitalisation and growing adoption. They are digital or virtual currencies based on cryptographic techniques, enabling transactions on decentralised networks without reliance on intermediaries. Currently, more than 1,600 cryptocurrencies are in circulation, including well-known ones such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, LTC, LINK, and Tether.

However, cryptocurrencies are still widely perceived as high-risk assets, characterised by significant price volatility and unpredictability. Most previous studies have focused on the impact of economic policy uncertainty on cryptocurrency markets, while the role of geopolitical risk has not been thoroughly examined. This highlights the need for further research that directly investigates the relationship between geopolitical factors and cryptocurrencies.

Research Approach and Gap Addressed

To address this gap, the study examines the relationship between geopolitical risk and cryptocurrency market volatility over the 2014–2023 period using daily data. A key feature of the approach is the application of the GARCH-M-GJR-LEV model (an advanced econometric method) which improves the accuracy of volatility estimation compared to traditional models. This framework allows for a clearer identification of how cryptocurrency markets respond to geopolitical shocks, while providing robust empirical evidence for both academic and practical purposes.

The findings indicate that geopolitical risk, including geopolitical acts and geopolitical threats, has a negative effect on cryptocurrency volatility. This implies that during periods of heightened uncertainty, the cryptocurrency market tends to become more stable (an attribute commonly associated with safe-haven assets).

Notably, this effect is stronger for green cryptocurrencies than for non-green ones, reflecting the growing importance of sustainability in financial markets. However, the safe-haven role of cryptocurrencies is not consistently observed, and primarily emerges during periods of elevated geopolitical risk.

Policy Implications and Investment Strategies

The study provides empirical evidence for investors to consider cryptocurrencies as a tool for preserving asset value during periods of heightened geopolitical risk, rather than viewing them solely as speculative assets. This implies that incorporating geopolitical risk into portfolio allocation strategies is essential to enhance risk-hedging effectiveness.

For policymakers, the findings suggest that cryptocurrencies should be recognised as a component of the financial system, thereby requiring regulatory frameworks that reflect their volatility and cross-border nature. In particular, the stronger response of green cryptocurrencies to geopolitical shocks indicates the need for policy directions that encourage sustainability-oriented assets, in line with long-term development goals.

In addition, the study offers implications for central banks and financial institutions in considering cryptocurrencies as a supplementary component in safe-haven asset selection and risk management strategies, especially in the context of increasing geopolitical tensions and monetary instability.

Over the past two decades, China has emerged as a formidable force in innovation and scientific knowledge production. The Global Innovation Index (GII) Report 2025 ranked China 10th in the world, making it the only middle-income economy within the top 30 leading nations. Recently, as noted in a statistical report on the scientific publishing market in China, the 20 largest international publishers by output published 83% of all research articles involving China-based authors from 2012 to 2021. Drawing from research by an author at the Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace), this article analyzes the policies and current landscape of scientific journal development in China, thereby offering a number of implications for Vietnam in building and advancing scientific journals in the period ahead.

The Policy and Operational Ecosystem of Scientific Journals in China

Approaching from the perspectives of policy and academic governance, the study argues that the development of scientific journals in China is not the result of any single factor but rather has been shaped by the synchronized operation of an ecosystem comprising multiple closely interconnected components. Within this ecosystem, investment policies and research evaluation reforms provide the foundational orientation; organizational and management models ensure publishing quality; academic integrity serves as a “normative safeguard”; and human resources and international cooperation act as the driving forces behind internationalization. On this basis, the study analyzes each major component of the ecosystem in turn.

Investment Policies and Research Evaluation Reforms

The study reveals that the development of scientific journals in China is inseparable from the state’s long-term investment strategy in science, technology, and innovation. Since the late 1970s, China has continuously increased its spending on research and development (R&D), which currently accounts for approximately 22% of total global R&D expenditure. This resource base has created an essential foundation for research activities as well as for the rapid expansion of the scientific publishing system.

Alongside financial investment, China has implemented numerous reforms aimed at enhancing research quality, most notably a shift in evaluation philosophy. Rather than emphasizing the number of published articles and journal impact factors, new policies place greater weight on content quality and the practical impact of research outcomes. This is considered a critical adjustment to redirect the publishing behavior of scientists and enhance the substantive value of scientific journals.

Organizational and Management Models for Scientific Journals

Another key finding of the study concerns the rigorous management model applied to scientific journals in China. Accordingly, all journals seeking to operate must be approved and registered by the competent state authority. The licensing process involves a comprehensive evaluation covering the sponsoring organization, human resources, financial capacity, and academic orientation.

Additionally, China promotes the standardization of publishing processes through the implementation of a stringent, supervised peer-review system. Inviting experts within the same field to participate in review ensures the objectivity, professional rigor, and reliability of published articles. Scientific journals do not pursue profit but instead focus on their function of disseminating knowledge, thereby enabling the state to provide selective financial support to journals with strong potential.

Academic Integrity — The Pillar Sustaining the Credibility of Scientific Journals

The study places particular emphasis on the role of academic integrity within China’s scientific publishing system. In recent years, a series of policies and guidelines have been issued to prevent misconduct such as plagiarism, data fabrication, ghostwriting, and manipulation of the peer-review process. The public disclosure of violations, the establishment of early-warning lists for unreliable journals, and the application of strict sanctions demonstrate China’s vigorous efforts to restore integrity to the research environment. These measures not only protect the credibility of scientific journals but also help strengthen trust within the academic community both domestically and internationally.

Human Resources and International Cooperation

The study points out that high-quality human resources and international cooperation are critical drivers propelling the development of China’s scientific journals. Through substantial investment in higher education, the formulation of strategies to attract global talent, and the expansion of research collaboration networks with numerous countries, China has progressively enhanced its research quality and capacity for international integration. Extensive research collaboration has simultaneously increased both the volume and quality of scientific publications while creating conditions for Chinese scientific journals to approach and align with international publishing standards, thereby elevating their standing on the global scientific map.

Opportunities and Challenges in Developing Domestic Scientific Journals in China

Based on an analysis of science and technology policies, the academic publishing system, and international publication data, the study indicates that the development of scientific journals in China currently stands at a crossroads of significant opportunities coupled with numerous structural challenges, clearly reflecting the relationship between growing research capacity and the ability to translate knowledge into scientific journals with international credibility and influence.

First, China possesses exceptionally favorable conditions for developing its domestic scientific journal system. The scale and growth rate of scientific research activities generate an abundant supply of articles of steadily improving quality. China’s consistent position among the leading nations in international publication output reflects an academic foundation strong enough to nurture scientific journals of substantial stature.

Furthermore, robust support from national policies on science, technology, and innovation plays a pivotal role. The Chinese government has invested significantly in the research system, encouraging improvements in quality rather than merely pursuing publication volume. Reforms in research evaluation mechanisms, together with strategies to enhance academic publishing capacity, open up numerous opportunities for domestic scientific journals to progressively raise their standards, increase competitiveness, and expand their influence on the international stage.

However, the study also highlights considerable challenges confronting China’s scientific journal system. Despite rapidly growing research capacity, the majority of articles involving Chinese authors continue to be published in international journals controlled by foreign publishers. This reflects a pronounced gap between the capacity for knowledge production and the capacity for domestic academic publishing.

Moreover, many Chinese scientific journals still face limitations in meeting international standards for editorial processes, peer review, and publishing governance. A shortage of human resources with deep expertise in academic publishing, combined with the pressures of digital transformation and internationalization, has made it difficult for a significant number of journals to improve their quality and appeal to researchers. Unless these barriers are addressed, the domestic scientific journal system will struggle to fully capitalize on the potential offered by its rapidly developing research foundation.

Implications and Recommendations for Developing Scientific Journals in Vietnam

Drawing from China’s experience in developing its scientific journal system, the study offers a number of recommendations for Vietnam’s scientific journal landscape aimed at enhancing the quality, credibility, and international integration capacity of scientific journals in the period ahead.

First, Vietnamese scientific journals need to accelerate digital transformation in a strategic manner, prioritizing the establishment of a stable electronic publishing platform, expanding cooperation with professional publishing entities, and strengthening inter-journal linkages within specific fields. The application of new communication formats must be aligned with the core requirements of academic publishing: ensuring the rigor, systematization, and knowledge value of scientific content.

Second, the study recommends reforming the research evaluation and academic promotion system by reducing reliance on journal reputation and impact indicators while integrating quantitative assessment with expert judgment. This approach not only contributes to improving article quality but also fosters a healthy development environment for domestic scientific journals.

Third, to elevate their academic standing, Vietnamese scientific journals need to promote internationalization through clear publication orientation, strengthened international cooperation, and the encouragement of research with high novelty and practical applicability. In parallel, ensuring manuscript quality, standardizing the peer-review and editorial process, developing a professional editorial workforce, and establishing rigorous academic integrity regulations are regarded as foundational measures to help journals build credibility and achieve sustainable development.
