This research analyzes the development of popular culture in Vietnam within the context of globalization, digital transformation, and socioeconomic development. Through systematic analysis of cultural industries and international integration processes, the study shows how popular culture has shifted from a peripheral position to become a central driving force in national development, especially after the <italic>Doi Moi</italic> reforms in 1986. Results indicate that Vietnam’s cultural policies need to balance preserving authenticity while adopting positive international influences, contributing to understanding cultural evolution in transitional economies.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Популярная культура является выражением коллективной идентичности в современном обществе, отражая взаимодействие между традицией и современными влияниями. Данное исследование анализирует развитие популярной культуры во Вьетнаме в контексте глобализации, цифровой трансформации и социально-экономических процессов. Опираясь на анализ культурных индустрий и международной интеграции, исследование показывает, как популярная культура после реформ «Дой Мой» в 1986 г. перешла от периферийного положения к положению одной из центральных движущих сил национального развития. Авторы приходят к выводу, что политика Вьетнама в области культуры должна способствовать поддержанию баланса между сохранением аутентичности и принятием позитивных международных влияний, в чём заключается сущность культурной эволюции в переходных экономиках.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>popular culture</kwd><kwd>cultural industry</kwd><kwd>international integration</kwd><kwd>cultural identity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>популярная культура</kwd><kwd>культурная индустрия</kwd><kwd>международная интеграция</kwd><kwd>культурная идентичность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bùi Việt Thắng (2023).
