However, low quality of current legal system is one of the main obstacles to prevent Vietnam from achieveing development targets. Although legislative power is vested to the National Assembly but Government had played important role in legislation. Delegated legislation is carried out as alternative solution for solving the burden on legislature as well as for responding quickly to the changes of economy and society. However, this practice also cause many problems of legal system such as contradictory, overlap, and inconsistence which have raisen challenges to Vietnam in process of implementing legislative reform. The problem is that theories and principles of delegated legislation are still under debated. How to improve the quality of legal system in order to become more transparent, coherent, understandable, and enforceable is remaining as a significant question for Vietnam when an effective channel for reviewing constitutionality and legality of legal normative documents has not yet established. This paper aims at studying the role of Vietnamese government in legislation based on Japanese’s experiences in order to identify possible solutions for Vietnam to improve the quality of legal system responding to requirements of rule of law state.}, pages = {1--39}, title = {The Role of Vietnamese Government in Legislation : in Comparison with Japan}, volume = {11}, year = {2014} }
