Factors that Guarantee the Independence of Federal Courts in the United States (25/05/2020)
The independent judiciary, partially characterized by the independence of the court, is a core value of American political-legal culture, which has been recognized and pursued since the founding of the United States of America. The United States has established a system of checks and balances on legislative, executive and judicial powers to ensure the independence of the federal courts. The paper aims to answer two research questions including what factors guarantee an independent federal judiciary, and whether the courts are perfectly free from any improper influence of legislative and executive branches or partisan politics, media and public opinion as well.

Collective Actions on Social Networks: Features and Influences (25/05/2020)
This article exposes the misleading conceptualization of the concept “the crowd” on social network by revealing other approaches in which “the crowd” is seen as “collective actions” in a modern media landscape characterized by the redundancy of information. This objective will contribute to the illustration of the relationship between the media landscape and users’ ordinary lives. The aforementioned statements will be analyzed through a particular case about the online actions of voters toward the 2020 presidential campaign of US Senator Bernie Sanders which is identified as a social movement. Specifically, this article will analyze the process of lobbying “Medicare for All” (M4A), which is a key policy in the Sanders’ campaign, to expose the mechanism of collective actions instead of crowd effect in the modern media era.

Vietnam’s International Cooperation in Archives during the Period 1958-1990 (25/05/2020)
Archives have been paid attention to since the early days of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. During the Cold War, facing the challenges of national security and the difficulties due to limited archives capacity, Vietnam soon realized the importance of international cooperation in building capacity within the archival profession as well as strengthening foreign relations with other socialist countries. Initially a recipient of assistance from the Soviet Union, through various bilateral and multilateral cooperation activities, Vietnam has become a provider of assistance to some less developed countries in the region such as Laos and Cambodia, and an active member of several multilateral forums of socialist countries on archives.
