  • More about The Centrality of Middle Class

The middle class has a multiplier effect on society's welfare and progress, supporting economic development and promoting political engagement. This study examines Vietnam and Serbia as ideologically attuned countries with different economic development levels, highlighting the importance of the middle class in understanding political stability. It will appeal to social scientists interested in political stability, ideological states, and development narratives.

As the demand for economic growth assumes a prominent position in the political discourse surrounding society's welfare and progress, the middle class, as a social grouping situated within socioeconomic structures, wields a multiplicative effect on both the political and cultural realms. The middle class plays a crucial role in fostering a country's growth by stimulating economic development and cultivating a politically engaged society. By examining Vietnam and Serbia, two ideologically attuned countries that diverge in economic development, the author employs functionalist and dimensional paradigms to underscore the critical significance of the rise of the middle class in understanding the political stability of modern societies. Furthermore, the author concludes that society's sub-social challenges and cultural determinants do exert an influence on the course of development and growth. This comprehensive study will captivate social scientists with a keen interest in political stability, ideological states, and development narratives.
