Introduction: Three Ways Out
It was a revolt within the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), made successful by President Marcos’s own cousin General Fidel V. Ramos, that occasioned the 1986 “People Power” revolution, exemplary even in a period when many other peoples were throwing off the yoke of tyranny. But the four American helicopters that descended on Malacañang Palace at nine in the evening of 25 February 1986 symbolized the American role in the crisis; they were so…
The Triumph of the Trapos
By the middle of 1989 it was clear that the old politics had triumphed. Aquino’s popularity had slipped to 35 percent approval, according to a “Social Weather Station” survey, down from 77 percent a year earlier.2 Put another way, the “margin of satisfaction” with her rule, measured as the percentage “satisfied” minus those “unsatisfied,” had gone from +58 percent in February 1988 to +22 percent in August 1989.3 For the opportunistic vice preside…
Presidency under Siege
It is easy for observers, watching a nation in crisis, to conclude that matters cannot worsen, that when economic, political, and security structures are stretched to a “certain” point, “something” must happen. True, coups d’état are a feature of the unstable third world, and generally happen at low points of regimes’ popularity and standing, as is true of the Philippines. But regimes have an ability to decline in standing far greater than was be…
Military Culture
How do we classify the Philippines with respect to the military role? Robert Looney considers countries “under military control” if they meet one or more of these criteria: key political leadership by the military; existence of a state of martial law; extrajudicial authority exercised by security forces; lack of central control by national political authorities over large sections of the country where official or unofficial security forces rule; …

The Philippines in Crisis
The eruption of Mt. Pinatuba represented more than the smothering of America's Clark Air Force Base and many of President Corazon Aquino's development plans. It also served as a metaphor both for the
Anti-Americanism and the U.S. Government
Anti-Americanism is a sometime preoccupation, rather than a specific policy problem, within the U.S. government. There is ample evidence at popular levels, where polls can be taken abroad, that American ideas and policies are understood and respected. With respect to governments abroad, the U.S. government has a more complicated problem. As a world power center, it receives the blame for problems beyond its own making, including some originating …

Legitimacy and Authority in the OAU
The notion of a subordinate African international system is widely posited and accepted. Political scientists have debated the means to, requirements for, and amount of political development in African states but have left largely unstudied the question of whether or not the African international system is developing--by which we mean developing a capacity to cope, by adapting to internal and external challenges. Our purpose in this essay is to s…
