Notes on Meaning

• "Dân vận" is a compound Sino-Vietnamese word (dân = people, vận = to mobilize/movement). It is a specific political and administrative term, not a general word for communication.
• While the core meaning involves "propaganda," it strongly implies a two-way process of persuasion, explanation, and organizing at the grassroots level, not just one-way dissemination of information. The English translation often depends on context: "mass mobilization" is common for the activity, while "people's mobilization work" or "grassroots mobilization" can be used for the field or task.
