PREFACE

1 Rationale to choose the thesis

Party means the combination of many Party members while theParty’s guideline is made and realized by the Party member force.Without the Party member force, the Party mustn't exist or develop AsPresident 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, anddirectly 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 PartyCommittees and organizations at all levels

Over the past years with fluctuations in the world, regional, and nationalsituation, requirements for the career of boosting up industrialization,modernization, and international integration; the destruction and resistance byhostile forces, especially the plot of “peaceful evolution”, “subversive riot”, andthe promotion of “self-evolution & internal self-transformation” have beenplacing urgent needs to enhance the quality of the Party build-up in general andthat of the build-up of Party member force in particular

Army Party Committee is the part of communist Party of Vietnam.Upon the Army’s requirements and tasks in the new context, the Partyintends to build-up Vietnam People’s Army to get revolutionary, regular,elite, and gradually modern The Resolution 51-NQ/TW was promulgated on

20th July 2005 on “Continuation to accomplish the Party’s leadershipmechanism, realize the mechanism of one commander in attachment with theone of political commissar and politicians in Vietnam People’s Army” Thatposes a requirement to build-up Party member force to get strong in terms ofpolitics, ideology, and morality as well competence to participate in buildingthe Party organization as pure and strong so that its leaders will be able tofulfill all assigned tasks

At present, the task to build-up and regulate the Party upon thespirit of Resolution of the Fourth Conference, the 12th Central PartyCommittee and that of the 13th Central Party Committee is beingstrongly deployed from the Central level to local ones, including inArmy Party Committee Besides the gained achievements, the build-up

of Party member force has remained limited with many shortcomings,especially there have appeared cadres and Party members, even high-ranking cadres & generals with signals of so bad deterioration inpolitical ideology and moral qualities that disciplinary actions must beapplied to them If the shortcomings are not punctually overcome, theywill make big impacts on the Army’s status and prestige

So far, although there have been scientific works which generallymention the build-up of Party member force nationwide and at someCentral & local Party Committees as well as that in the Army, therehaven't been any scientific works which deeply or independently orsystematically research the Army Party Committee’s leadership for thebuild-up of Party member force in the angle of History of CommunistParty of Vietnam from 2005 until 2015

Upon the above-mentioned reasons, the author has selected the theme

of: “Leadership by Army Party Committee for the build-up of Party

member force from 2005 until 2015” as the Doctoral thesis on History,

majoring in the History of Communist Party of Vietnam
