The Fizzling of “Ceboom”: How Jurisdictional Battles and Warring Factions Undermined Cebu's Development Coalition
Starting in the late 1980s, in a phenomenon dubbed “Ceboom,” Cebu City and its surrounding metropolitan area attracted national envy and international attention as a leading centre of growth within a country facing many economic challenges. This article focuses first on the development coalition in the heyday of Ceboom (1988–1998) and proceeds through two subsequent periods in which this coalition declined (1998–2016) and then effectively collaps…
The Politics of Government–Business Relations in Urban Southeast Asia: Introduction and Overview
Recognising the increasingly urban character of Southeast Asian politics, our introduction to this special issue explores the varied patterns of government–business relations found across the region. In some urban centres, businesses form collusive rent-seeking relations with mayors and other politicians; in others, they support governance reform and urban renewal. In beginning to unpick this variation, we briefly highlight what we can learn from…

Mobilizing for Elections: Patronage and Political Machines in Southeast Asia
Politicians in Southeast Asia, as in many other regions, win elections by distributing cash, goods, jobs, projects, and other benefits to supporters, but the ways in which they do this vary tremendously, both across and within countries. Mobilizing for Elections presents a new framework for analyzing variation in patronage democracies, focusing on distinct forms of patronage and different networks through which it is distributed. The book draws o…
Strong-Arming, Weak Steering: Central-Local Relations in the Philippines in the Era of the Pandemic
This article examines central-local dynamics in the Philippines in the era of the pandemic, demonstrating that the national government has not provided the type of “central steering” necessary to confront a foe as tenacious as COVID -19. Instead, there is another type of power that emanates from the center – namely the strong-arming of local politicians by President Rodrigo Duterte. While this form of power may help conceal the government’s “weak…

Mindanao: The Long Journey to Peace and Prosperity
Across more than four decades, the conflict between the national government and Muslim liberation forces in the southern Philippines has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Two landmark agreements under the presidency of Benigno S Aquino III - the first in 2012 and the second in 2014 - raised high hopes that peace might finally be on the way. But the peace process stalled, and has yet to regain momentum, after a botched counterterror…

Governing Southeast Asia: New Perspectives on States and State-Society Relations

Scott, and three of the subsequent presentations very explicitly took elements of Professor Scott's vast and influential corpus as their points of departure. As TRaNS: Trans -Regional and -National Studies of Southeast Asia moves into its third year of publication, the contributions that follow provide a broad range of new perspectives on the diverse nature of states and state-society relations acros…
Understanding ‘Source’ and ‘Purpose’ in Processes of Democratic Change: Insights from the Philippines and Thailand
Previous decades' celebrations of the triumph of democracy were frequently based on mainstream analyses that displayed two major theoretical problems. First, conceptualisations of democracy based on ‘minimal pre-conditions’ commonly conflated the formal establishment of democratic structures with the far more complex and historically challenging creation of substantive democracy . Second, a deductive and generally ahistorical model asserting fixe…

The Arroyo Imbroglio in the Philippines
In her seven years as Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has found political legitimacy elusive. She has survived numerous travails by very effectively wielding the substantial powers of her office, but exhibits no qualms about further undermining the country's already weak political institutions. Post-Marcos Philippine democracy can boast many strengths, including a vibrant civil society, but it has been battered in recent years by a …
Oligarchic Patrimonialism, Bossism, Electoral Clientelism, and Contested Democracy in the Philippines
Political Economy
Provides a brief account of major historical trends in the Philippine political economy. It begins by examining the character of the economic elite that emerged during the country's integration into the world economy in the nineteenth century. It focuses particular attention on the period since 1986 and argues that political and institutional factors are central to understanding the uneven and often lagging character of Philippine economic perfor…
Strong Demands and Weak Institutions: The Origins and Evolution of the Democratic Deficit in the Philippines
No country in Asia has more experience with democratic institutions than the Philippines. Over more than a century—from the representational structures of the Malolos republic of 1898 to the political tutelage of American colonial rule, from the cacique democracy of the postwar republic to the restoration of democracy in the People Power uprising of 1986—Filipinos know both the promise of democracy and the problems of making democratic structures…
Centralization and Decentralization in Administration and Politics: Assessing Territorial Dimensions of Authority and Power
Throughout the world, diverse countries are implementing programs of decentralization as a means of promoting both democratic and developmental objectives. Unfortunately, however, scholarship has yet to offer a comprehensive framework within which to assess and reform central‐local relations. This article seeks to overcome the "division of labor" that has long separated analyses of administrative and political structures, and to provide stronger …
Colonial Masters, National Politicos, and Provincial Lords: Central Authority and Local Autonomy in the American Philippines, 1900-1913
When the united states embarked on a campaign of overseas colonial conquest a century ago, it was for some Americans an unquestionably righteous venture in political tutelage. "[God] has made [the English-speaking and Teutonic peoples] adept in government that we may administer government among savage and senile peoples," proclaimed Indiana Senator Albert J. Beveridge. "And of all our race He has marked the American people as His chosen nation to…
After the Fall: Prospects for Political and Institutional Reform in Post‐Crisis Thailand and the Philippines
Since the late-1980s, efforts to consolidate democracy in Thailand and the Philippines have been accompanied by marked contrasts both in levels of developmental success and degrees of subsequent economic decline. In Thailand, extraordinary rates of growth in the decade prior to 1997 were followed by dramatic contraction; in the Philippines, the more modest and short-lived gains of the mid-1990s have been followed by economic standstill but not ca…
Booty Capitalism: The Politics of Banking in the Philippines
In the early postwar years, the Philippines seemed poised for long-term economic success; within the region, only Japan had a higher standard of living. By the early 1990s, however, the country was dismissed as a perennial aspirant to the ranks of newly industrializing economies, unable to convert its substantial developmental assets into developmental success. Major reforms of the mid-1990s bring new hope, explains Paul D. Hutchcroft, but accomp…

Oligarchs and Cronies in the Philippine State the Politics of Patrimonial Plunder
Five years after the downfall of Ferdinand E. Marcos, scholars of Philippine politics have yet to achieve even minimal consensus on the proper characterization of his authoritarian regime. More importantly, scholarship has failed to account for fundamental continuity, across regimes, in the way in which dominant economic interests interact with the Philippine state. The author argues that a focus on patrimonial aspects of the Philippine state wil…
