FROM GLOBAL NORMS TO LOCAL PRACTICE: VIETNAM’S ADAPTATION TO THE GERMAN SUPPLY CHAIN LAW
This study investigates how Vietnamese enterprises-key players in German-bound supply chains-understand, interpret, and implement the labor-related requirements of the LkSG. The study highlights important opportunities for Vietnamese firms, such as technological transfer, workforce upskilling, and institutional collaboration with German and EU stakeholders. The paper concludes by offering actionable policy recommendations for domestic reform and transnational cooperation and contributing to the wider literature on global norm translation in labor governance.
