Abstract: By applying to Brenner’s theory of state rescaling, this paper assesses Vietnam’s multi-scalar regionalism strategies at two levels: macro regulatory regionalism, particularly GMS and ASEAN+ and intra-regional development institution. Then, the paper is to suggest a new government approach at a regional level as rescaling state for regional development in Vietnam and take its SWOT into account.

Key words: state rescaling; institutional reform; regional development; regulatory regionalism
