Les Philippines: Une démocratie hésitante dans le contexte international
L’examen des politiques suivies par Aquino, Ramos et Estrada révèle un déclin de l’influence étrangère sur la politique philippine, surtout à partir de la dénonciation du traité sur les bases militaires en 1991. Cependant cette influence étrangère, principalement américaine, a été longtemps importante et son impact sur la politique économique demeure sensible. Un faible niveau d’institutionnalisme politique favorise l’influence étrangère, alors q…

In this study, Mark Thompson analyzes how Marcos's opponents in the political and economic elite coped with this situation, and why their struggle resulted in a transition…

Transition to Political Democracy in the Philippines: 1978–88
The redemocratization of the Philippine polity contains some unique elements. Many participants, in fact, even including Mrs Aquino, have regarded it as a miracle, the consequence of divine intervention (Elwood, 1986). Fortunately for the social scientist, however, the unique and miraculous characteristics are embedded in patterns that are found to be quite similar to Latin American, other Asian, and even Southern European examples
Philippine Foreign Policy
In comparison with other countries in the region the Philippines and its policies have four major distinguishing characteristics. First, the Philippines has been more dependent for trade, investment, credit, and military assistance on one power over a longer period than any other Southeast Asian state. Despite the growing intrusion of Japan into the region, the Philippines remains most tightly linked with the US. It is, of course, the only ex-col…

The Philippines was the latest of the colonially inspired experiments in constitutional democracy within Southeast Asia to succumb to a palace coup. Because the Filipino citizenry had a longer experience in the uses of competitive elections, a free press and an independent judiciary than did the other peoples of the region, the demise of such institutions holds a special fascination for the scholar and is regarded as a special tragedy by all thos…

A basic and persistent question in the study of foreign policy is whether internal or external determinants of output are to be regarded as more important.

There is still less agreement on the proposal that the United States should, where…

The year 1966 was in a very real sense a Year in the United States. Americans, both official and private, paid more attention to the affairs of our former ward in the Pacific than at any time since independence in 1946. It was a year in which the Philippines could hardly reiterate the familiar plaint that they are being taken for granted. Least publicized, but not the least important for long term understanding, was the Philippine-American Assemb…
