چکیده
Context This paper is one of two that aim to explore further the theoretical framework of my research, and consider preliminary findings from the initial fieldwork. In this paper I return to the ‘political opportunities’ literature to consider what social movement theory would hypothesise about how movements emerge and have political consequences in a non-democratic context. I then test these hypotheses against preliminary empirical evidence of mobilization and influence of the movement of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) people in Vietnam.
