Abstract

Traditional security issues, with a focus on political and military security, have been accompanied by non-traditional security issues in today's world. One of the emerging non-traditional security issues is transnational crime. Transnational crime is defined as an offense that involves more than one country in its planning, execution, and/or effects. It poses a non-traditional security threat to the world and Vietnam. This article examines cooperation in combating transnational crimes within the framework of non-traditional security cooperation between Vietnam, ASEAN countries, and United Nations members. The article specifically addresses four types of transnational crime in Vietnam: drug crimes, human trafficking, environmental crimes, and cybercrimes.
