Abstract

In comparison to other ASEAN countries, the Vietnamese diaspora in Poland is fast rising. Vietnam has had significant ideological ties to socialist bloc countries during the Cold War era. This has had a significant impact on the economy, social life, and culture to this day. The large number of Vietnamese immigrants to Poland prompted close cooperation between the two countries. Vietnamese companies dominate Asian markets. Vietnamese descendants have their own presence in politics as well; for example, Vietnamese is used as one of the official languages in Polish immigration paperwork. The high level of economic success prompted frequent migration from Vietnam to Poland. This has an economic impact as well as an educational impact, as many Vietnamese students prefer to continue their studies in Poland to obtain a higher quality of education. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the Vietnamese diaspora in Poland using migration network theory, with an emphasis on indicators from two networks, namely history and economics. This study is divided into various sections, which are as follows: a) Conceptual Discussion of Migration Network in the phenomena of international migration, b) History of the formation of the Vietnamese diaspora in Poland, c) Migration Network in Vietnamese migration to Poland, and d) Conclusion. The findings of this study help to understand the significance of network elements (both historical and economic) in the establishment of diasporas and their impact on the economies of both countries. Vietnam can be used as a best practice for ASEAN countries that are able to leverage international migration to build their national resilience as a result of this analysis.
