INTRODUCTION

The 2013 Constitution and the 2015 Law on Local Government Organization, along with the identification of our country's administrative units including three levels: Province, District, Commune and special administrative units, have stipulated the organization of government on those administrative units The centrally run city government is established on a centrally run city administrative unit This is an administrative unit equivalent to a provincial administrative unit, but

is a special administrative unit or type I (of the three remaining types of provincial administrative units I, II, III)

The centrally run city government, as its name suggests, is a level of government that is highly respected by the Central government because of its importance not only at the local level, spreading and influencing the surrounding area but also for the overall development of the country Therefore, it implies that the Central City government talks about the control, regime, and policies specific to it In essence, the Central City government is the level of government that was established in our country from Decree No 77-SL dated December 21, 1945, but is only officially regulated in the Law on Political Organization Local rights were approved by the National Assembly on April 29, 1958 Since then, in our State's constitutions, at different levels, the City level of government directly under the Central Government has been recognized

Up to now, although the Constitution and the Law on Organization of Local Government regulate the basic functions, tasks, powers and organization of centrally run city governments; The National Assembly Standing Committee and the Government have also issued documents detailing the organization and operation of the People's Councils and People's Committees of centrally-run cities, but the issue of reforming the political organization is There are still many issues raised by centrally-run city authority In some centrally run cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang although a number of specific mechanisms have been identified by the National Assembly, they are still in the process of continuing to research and perfect them , or pilot In fact, in the development trend, as is known, there are some provinces of Bac Ninh, Thua Thien - Hue, Khanh Hoa In the near future, it may become a centrally run city, which also needs to have its government organization model basically determined That is related to the internal relationships of government levels, with the political system in general, and the effectiveness and efficiency of government operations at all levels in state management and public service provision in the country locality and above all the actual results of economic, socio-cultural development in the locality

The above points lead to the continued improvement of the current central city government organization, both from a research perspective, from legal regulations and in practical implementation, which is still a topic of concern interested managers, scientists and practitioners The above reality shows that studying the organization of centrally run City governments is necessary, contributing to decoding a complex issue serving development at the local and national levels There have been many general research projects on local government and urban government

in general, but research on centrally run city government has also received attention in recent years

In such a context, researching this particularly important level of government is very necessary and reasonable That is also in accordance with the spirit of Resolution No 18 - NQ/TW of the 6th Conference of the Party Central Committee (term XII) dated October 25, 2017 on "Some issues on continuing innovation, Arrange and organize the apparatus of the political system to be streamlined

and operate effectively and efficiently The resolution assesses that the organizational apparatus of the political system is still cumbersome, with many levels and many focal points; The effectiveness and efficiency of operations do not meet the requirements and tasks The functions, tasks, powers, organizational structure, and relationships of some agencies and organizations are not very clear, overlapping, overlapping The assignment, decentralization, and decentralization of power between sectors , at all levels and within each agency and organization is not reasonable, powerful and synchronous; There is still a situation of making excuses, substituting or omitting tasks, and the effective power control mechanism is not high; Disclosure, transparency and accountability are still limited Administrative reform, especially administrative procedure reform, is moving slowly, asynchronously, and has not met requirements Notably, in terms of tasks and solutions, Resolution No 27-NQ/TW dated September 9 November 2022 The 6th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee on continuing to build and perfect the Vietnamese socialist rule of law state in the new period has proposed tasks and solutions to continue innovate the organization and operations of local government; building a state administration to serve the people, professional, rule of law, modern, effective and efficient with key contents such as: continuing to innovate the organization and operations of local government in the direction of streamlining, operating effectively and efficiently; Reasonably reduce the number of specialized agencies under the People's Committees at the provincial and district levels; innovate national governance towards modernity, effectiveness, efficiency, and focus on development management; ensure respect for the Constitution and the law, enhance transparency, accountability and people's participation; building an administration that serves the people, democracy, rule of law, professional, modern, scientific, clean, open, transparent, creating a favorable environment for people and businesses; continue to promote administrative reform, focusing on improving the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees with three main pillars: Organizing the apparatus; civil service, civil servants; electronic administration and digital transformation; Complete local government organization suitable for urban, rural, mountainous, island areas, and special administrative-economic units; Reduce appropriate levels of government in some localities; build a local government governance model suitable for each area, associated with the development requirements of regions and economic zones; continue to arrange district and commune-level administrative units; Pilot research on arrangement of administrative units

provincial level in accordance with the overall planning of national and local administrative units; build specific mechanisms, institutions and policies to promote regional development and strong enough regional linkages to meet the requirements of socio-economic development and ensure national defense and security of the country; Promote scientific and reasonable decentralization and decentralization, coupled with increased responsibility, associated with ensuring resources and capacity to implement the law for localities and ministries; strengthen inspection and supervision; ensuring unified management of the Government, promoting the proactive, creative, and self-responsible role of each locality and ministries These contents are important directions in researching and perfecting the law on the current organization of centrally run city governments

From the above presentations, the PhD student chose the topic "Organization of run city government in Vietnam" as the topic of his doctoral dissertation in law to contribute to perfecting and innovating the organization of the city current centrally run city government

1.2 OVERVIEW OF THE RESEARCH SITUATION

1.2.1 Evaluate research results

1.2.1.1 Evaluate theoretical research results

First, there are very few general studies on urban government and research on centrally run city governments Often these works only study general and principled urban government issues Research on urban government is mostly directed at the district and ward levels

Second, although there is no clear definition, research works have concepts about centrally run city government

Third, studies also point out the characteristics of centrally run city governments compared

to rural provincial governments, mainly related to the interconnected nature of social and economic infrastructure technical floor

Theoretically, there are research works that address some characteristics of urban management and urban government organization in Vietnam; industrialization and urbanization process in centrally run cities; as well as analyze a number of factors affecting the organization of urban government in centrally run cities

1.2.1.2 Evaluate research on the current state of centrally run city government

Firstly, research works have shown the basic principles in the organization and operation

of centrally run city governments, the structure of People's Councils and People's Committees at each government level authority of centrally run cities

Second, studies on centrally run city governments have researched the formation and development processes of local government laws; practice of management and provision of farm services in centrally run cities

Third, decentralization and decentralization are issues that have received attention from research with an important level that can change the organizational model of centrally run city governments and local governments in general Research has shown the nature of decentralization and decentralization of power, and the inevitability of ongoing decentralization and decentralization of centrally run cities

1.2.1.3 Evaluation of proposals on the organization of centrally run city governments Almost all research projects have proposed issues of building and completing a centrally run city government or a district or ward level of government

1.2.2 Issues that need further research

Firstly, many issues of centrally run city governments still need to be researched in relation

to local governments in general

Second, research on centrally run city governments still has issues that have not been researched or have different opinions

1.2.3 Issues continued to be researched in the thesis

Firstly, in terms of theory, the thesis will clarify the main issues:

- Define the concept of a city government directly under the Central Government of Vietnam and point out the common characteristics of this city government;

- Presents the interrelationship between the management subject (government) and the management object, with attention to clarifying the decisive role of the management subject and relative independence in the host organization manageability;

- Clarifying the role and functions of the city government under the Central Government

of Vietnam in terms of public administration, legal aspects and other aspects;

- Point out basic aspects of the organization and operation of centrally run city governments;

Second, regarding the current state of organization and operation of centrally run city governments:

- Research the provisions of the Law on Organization of Local Governments, the

Government's decrees specifying relevant laws and regulations of ministries, branches and

regulations of centrally run city governments about local organization and activities From there, evaluate the local government according to those regulations in terms of government model, organization and operation, relationships with advantages, limitations, defects ;

- On the basis of legal regulations on the organization and operation of the government, the thesis evaluates the central city government in terms of model, organization and operation, and implementation of relationships in practice ; In particular, the thesis focuses on examining transformations in the organization and operations of the government related to democracy, market economy, state governance, implementation of the tectonic state From that practice, The thesis points out achievements and limitations in the organization and operations of the government, and identifies the causes of those achievements and limitations

Third, regarding the thesis's proposed solutions on innovating centrally-run city governments, the thesis will focus on the following solutions:

- Research and propose local government organizational models in general, and centrally run city government models in particular to meet the requirements of modern state organizations associated with creativity and initiative of the government The government aims for effective state governance in new conditions

in association with the requirements of a socialist-oriented market economy and requirements for good state governance

- Recommendations and solutions on implementation organization and other solution groups

Conclusion Chapter 1 Through research and survey results of PhD students, it shows that research projects on centrally run city government organizations have been and are being studied from different aspects Published research works related to the organizational model of centrally run city government have also focused on proposing a number of recommendations and solutions on perfecting the organizational model of centrally run city government belongs to the Central Government However, in recent times, the practice of legislative activities and the organizational model of centrally run city governments have also been undergoing improvements and reforms, with important pilots under the Resolutions Resolution of the National Assembly on urban government

in Hanoi city, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang city Besides,The issue of developing smart urban areas, smart cities, building e-Government also requires stronger and more effective management capacity from agencies in the government system at all levels at all levels areas of centrally run cities These are also issues that need to continue to be researched, evaluated, and clarified in the process of perfecting the local government organization model in centrally run cities central government, in order to establish a more stable, long-term legal framework for the organizational model of centrally-run city government, thereby creating a management environment to promote socio-economic development in the locality discuss centrally run cities, play a leading role, promoting the development of other areas (rural, mountainous areas ), associated with the country's development requirements in the new context

Chapter 2 THEORETICAL ISSUES OF ORGANIZATION

CENTRAL CITY GOVERNMENT

2.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE CENTRAL CITY GOVERNMENT

2.1.1 Concept of centrally run city government

2.1.1.1 The concept of local government

Through studying the definitions of local government, it can be conceived: Local governments are state institutions, or self-governing institutions of local territorial communities, and are public legal entities established established in a constitutional and legal manner and in accordance with its character, local conditions to manage and operate all aspects of state and social life, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and organizations in an administrative unit - territory of a country , within the limits of authority, procedures, and certain methods prescribed by law

2.1.1.2 Concept of centrally run city government

The administrative units of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are currently classified as follows: The country is divided into provinces and centrally run cities; The province is divided into districts, towns and provincial cities; live city Centrally divided into districts, towns and equivalent administrative units; The district is divided into communes and towns; Provincial towns and cities are divided into wards and communes; District divided into wards; Special administrative-economic unit established by the National Assembly The concept of centrally run city government

in Vietnam can be as follows: Centrally run city government is an urban government - a public legal entity organized in a centrally run city administrative unit The central government aims to implement state management in the administrative and territorial areas and ensure the basic rights

of citizens and ensure the provision of public services in the city

2.1.2 Characteristics of centrally run city government

Firstly, the centrally run city government is a government organized according to the principle of democratic centralism

Second, a centrally run city government is a government whose activities are largely urban

in nature or at least tend to be such activities

Third, most centrally run city government organizations in Vietnam are governments in the stage of development and urbanization, so the rural and agricultural sector still accounts for a high proportion Therefore, overall, the urban nature of the government is also very transitional

Fourth, the central city government organization inside the inner city forms administrative units with several levels of government

Fifth, the organization and operations of centrally run city governments are not only aimed

at ensuring and improving the efficiency of management and organization of public service provision for local residents, serving local people but also has additional responsibility for the neighborhood, region or the whole country

Sixth, a centrally run city government is a government established in a centrally run city administrative unit

Seventh, issues related to centrally run city governments are basically governed by the Constitution, the Law on Local Government and a number of related legal documents However,

in addition to the specific political requirements of the centrally run city government associated with Hanoi - the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, new elements can be seen, demonstrating the pilot nature , reform of the organization of centrally run city governments (along with functions and tasks) in the development process of the current centrally run city government

2.1.3 Position and role of centrally run city government

2.1.3.1 Location of centrally run city government

The centrally run city government is the provincial level of local government Provincial governments in general in Vietnam have an important position in ensuring the central government's impact on localities, grassroots, and local social relations

The position of the centrally run city government is also shown through the classification

of urban areas according to administrative hierarchy Accordingly, there are three types of urban areas: 1/ Centrally run cities; 2/ Districts, cities directly under the Central Government, towns; 3/ Ward, town Except for wards and towns, each of these urban types has an internal structure of state agencies

2.1.3.2 The role of centrally run city government

First of all, the role of the centrally run city government is expressed in connection with the centrally run city administrative unit on which the government is established

Next, function is the expression of the role and effect of things, so we can consider the role of the central city government according to its function Accordingly, the centrally run city government has two basic functions as follows:

First, state management functions in the territory

Second, organize public service provision

2.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATION OF CENTRAL CITY GOVERNMENT

2.2.1 Principles for organizing centrally run city governments

“Organization” is a concept that refers to making a whole with a structure, a structure and certain common functions From here, the principles of organizing centrally run city governments are understood as the basic ideas and viewpoints in organizing local governments, including centrally run city governments To ensure the political requirements of our country, the principles

in organizing centrally run city governments that need attention include:

First, ensure the initiative and self-responsibility of state administrative levels

Second, it is necessary to assign reasonable management authority to all levels and departments

Third, the principle of ensuring citizen participation in democratic management

Fourth, government organization is consistent with the characteristics of technical infrastructure and social infrastructure

2.2.2 Constituting a centrally run city government organization

Firstly, the division of administrative units within centrally run city administrative units Second, the structure of the centrally run city government is created by two types of agencies: a council agency called the People's Council and an administrative administrative agency, currently called the People's Committee people
