FOREWORDS
1. Necessity of the subject
Western Highlands is a strategic area of the whole country. The body of officials and
civil servants as ethnic minorities accounts for 30.15% of total number of grass-root officials
and civil servants, presently takes very important role in social development and stability at the
Western Highlands, especially at communes where ethnic minorities are populating.
Confronting to requirement of speeding up the course of building the new rural areas in the
direction of industrialization and modernization, the body of commune officials and civil
servants as ethnic minorities at the Western Highlands are facing insufficiency and restriction.
Quantity, composition, competence, qualification and level of meeting job's requirements of
the whole body have not been synchronous yet. A direct reason of such situation is resulted
from the fact that quality of sourcing commune officials and civil servants as ethnic minorities
is insufficient, thus overcoming such reason is an important and necessary task of the Party
executive committees, governments and unions at the Western Highlands in the present work
of building the body of cadres.
Springing from such situation, I choose the issue of "Sourcing commune officials and
civil servants as ethnic minorities at the Western Highlands provinces in the present period" as
subject of the Doctoral Dissertation in Political Science, specialty in Building the Communist
Party of Vietnam, with the desire of clarifying reality and reasoning, promoting the sourcing of
commune officials and civil servants as ethnic minorities at the Western Highlands to be better
