The necessity of the research The Northern key economic region (NKER) is one of national key economic regions. It is constructed and developed with the aim of maximizing the comparative advantages of the region, creating economic zones that have motivation nature, pervasive influence and capacity to help other regions to develop. With its own advantages, in the past few years, NKER has been one of the two national key economic regions that take the lead in attracting FDI in term of the number of project and size of investment. FDI business sector in NKER has positive contribution to the region’s economic-social growth and development. However, the result of FDI attracting and the operation of the FDI business sector in NKER have shown negative effects which badly influence the region’s sustainable development on 3 aspects: economy, society and environmental protection… The phenomenon like transfer pricing and tax evasion occurring in FDI businesses and causing tax losses to the Government are quite popular and tend to keep increasing. The phenomena like the fact that labor’s material and spiritual life hasn’t received satisfactory attention; FDI businesses’ awareness of complying with the Law on Environment Protection is not good enough, seen as the neglect of environmental development and the violation of Law on Environment Protection, have done a big deal to the ecological environment and health of the population in the area. Those negative effects are current enormous challenges to the sustainable development of NKER. With the above practical issues, further clarifications on FDI rationale towards sustainable development; assessing FDI reality towards sustainable development in NKER and seeking for solutions for FDI attracting and FDI businesses’ management in order to preserve sustainable development of NKER on the three aspects: economy, society and environment, are urgent requirements. With the aim of meeting the requirements, the subject “Foreign direct investment towards sustainable development in the Nothern key economic region” was chosen for the research. 2. Purposes and tasks of the research - Research purposes: The thesis recommends main orientations and solutions in order to promote foreign direct investment towards sustainable development in NKER in the future. 2 - Research tasks: (i) Systematizing and clarifying the rationale of foreign direct investment towards sustainable development of NKER; (ii) Learning the experiences of some Asian Countries about foreign direct investment towards sustainable development of the key economic regions; (iii) Analyzing and assessing FDI reality towards sustainable development in NKER, which includes achievements, limitations and causes of limitations, weaknesses; (iv) Suggesting main orientations and solutions with the aim of promoting FDI towards sustainable development in NKER in the future. 3.

Research status of foreign direct investment towards sustainable development and sustainable developments of NKER - The group of researches related to sustainable development of NKER Nowadays, in Vietnam, there have been researches related to sustainable development of key economic regions in general and sustainable development of NKER in particular. The content of researches on sustainable development of key economic regions is also pretty plentiful theoretically and practically. 5 On theoretical aspects: there are some researches referring to the concepts of sustainable development of key economic regions, criteria of sustainable development of key economic regions, the experience on sustainable development of key economic regions, and lessons for Vietnam in sustainable development of key economic regions. On practical aspects: there are also analyses and assessments of policies for sustainable development of key economic regions; discoveries and analyses of downsides, unsustainable aspects of sustainable development of Vietnamese key economic regions; indicating causes and suggesting solutions that are relatively comprehensive for sustainable development of key economic regions. - The group of researches related to foreign direct investment towards sustainable development This is the group of researches that are directly relevant to FDI and studied on the FDI in the most comprehensive way about sustainable development. Most of the researches assessing positive and negative effects of FDI on the economy are analyzed on the three aspects, the three backbones of sustainable development which are economic development, social development and environmental protection. 1.2.3. General assessment of published works about FDI towards sustainable development and theory and practical deficiency needing further researches 1.2.3.1. General assessment of published works about FDI towards sustainable development First, researches all focus on clarifying and asserting the fact that FDI has effect on economic growth and economic-social developments. Second, most of the researches stay at assessing effects of FDI on specific aspects of sustainable development. So far, there has been rarely work that provides comprehensive, profound and methodical researches on foreign direct investment towards sustainable development on the three aspects: economy, society and environment. 1.2.3.2. The dissertation’s theoretical and practical deficiencies that need further researches - On theoretical aspects: So far, there has been rarely work that provides profound researches and systematic explanation about foreign direct investment towards sustainable development of key economic regions. - On practical aspects: Although there are work, articles providing researches on effects of FDI on sustainable development, most published scientific works are focused on analyzing, assessing FDI’s effects in general 6 and FDI’s effects on the target of sustainable development in particular in large scale – national level. There are rarely works examining the effects of FDI on sustainable development of a specific economic area, especially NKER. 7 Chapter 2 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION AND REAL SITUATIONS OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT TOWARDS THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE KEY ECONOMIC REGION 2.1.
