越南在後冷戰時期，積極推動經濟發展，尤其是利用外資開發在南海的石油和天然氣等天然資源，使越南成為東南亞國家第三大石油出口國。此外，越南亦積極擴展其在南沙群島佔領島礁的經建和軍事設施，並將其大陸礁層外界線向聯合國大陸礁層委員會提出申報，而引發中國、台灣和菲律賓的抗議。越南面臨南海，傳統即為越南漁民的捕魚場所，近年亦致力於魚產加工和養殖，南海對越南之國防安全和經濟發展愈見重要。本文從地緣、地理位置、島礁領土、天然資源等面向，探討後冷戰時期越南在南海區域經營之政策。 Vietnam positively pushes for the economic development in post cold war, particularly exploring oil and gas in the South China Sea.
