Abstract
In recent years, the world has witnessed a series of global crises, including pandemics, political instability, and armed conflicts, which have necessitated countries to declare a state of emergency. This prevailing trend will continue or potentially escalate in the coming decades. Such crises present numerous challenges to economies, prompting a crucial role for Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) in response and recovery efforts. FTAs are likely detrimental to countries with economic interdependence. Therefore, this research aims to re-evaluate the practical implementation of FTAs in Vietnam during recent crises and to explore potential provisions within these agreements that can offer guidance for more coordinated and effective responses to future crises.
