Firstly, to develop a theoretical framework on the basis of forming the constitutional ownership regime in the constitution depending on interdisciplinary approach between law, history and economy and politics.

Secondly, to finger out the movement rule of the ownership regime in Vietnamese Constitutions evolving in two contradictory cycles. It is seen that the first cycle from the Constitution of 1946 to the Constitution of 1980 is the process towards private ownership of means of production eliminated. The second cycle from the Constitution of 1992 to the Constitution of 2013 proceeds in the opposite direction, which is to diversify the forms of ownership, recognize the private ownership of production means (except the land).

Thirdly, to propose the opinions and recommendations on the ownership regime in the Vietnamese constitution, such as: the expansion of private ownership creating equality between the owners, the clarification of the ownership over the whole people and the combination of different ownership regimes.

Fourthly, to indicate that “Open access regimes” is supposed to be a possible approach for the current situation related to some objects with the ownership of common resources (such as beaches, rivers, streams, cattle grazing grounds and etc.).
