1 PREFACE Rationale to choose the thesis Party means the combination of many Party members while the Party’s guideline is made and realized by the Party member force Without the Party member force, the Party mustn't exist or develop As President Ho Chi Minh has ever asserted that: To lead the revolution, the Party must be strong and this depends on good branches Therefore, the build-up of the Party member force is always the hot, urgent, and directly decisive issue for the Party’s leadership strength and survival; it is also the regular & crucial top task by in the build-up of the Party Committees and organizations at all levels Over the past years with fluctuations in the world, regional, and national situation, requirements for the career of boosting up industrialization, modernization, and international integration;
