Trang 8changes of the economic restructuring and the transformation of ruraleconomic reform in a nation or a locality However, up to now, noresearch figures out cautiously and fully on the theoretical basis andpractical experience in implementing the policy of comprehensivetransformation of rural economic development at a provincial-levelwith the perspective specialized in Economic Management.
On the other hand, in Ninh Binh, although there have been anumber of studies on the rural economy and the transformation of therural economic restructuring, however, so far there are no any researchwhich focus systematically and comprehensively about the changes oneconomic restructuring in rural areas in Ninh Binh This is considered
as a gap in reseach that needs to be further researched, in particular, it
is necessary to study in a systematic way and to push it both in theoryand practice about solutions to complete the policies of reform therural economic restructuring at a provincial-level in our country
