Survival of an Imperfect Democracy in the Philippines
Despite the mythology surrounding the 1986 'people power revolution' in the Philippines, the political system remains a deeply flawed and fragile democracy. This study employs institutional analysis and a critical adaptation of concepts of social capital and political legitimacy to explain both the weaknesses of democracy and its survival. An historical analysis of the evolution of the political system demonstrates that a mismatch between the for…
The 'Populist' Right Challenge to Neoliberalism
This article looks at the rise of right populist politics in both developed and developing countries, and its implications for social policy. The author locates the cause for the right populist surge in the legacies of neoliberalism, paying particular attention to the way neoliberal reforms have affected popular attitudes towards politics. The commodification of politics and social services has stoked mass cynicism towards reigning neoliberal eli…

Globalization, Liberalization, and Prospects for the State
Patterns of globalization and liberalization need to be examined in light of their political consequences, especially in the context of situations of state collapse and violent conflict. Champions of globalization can be divided into two camps – the advocates of economic liberalization and the promoters of global governance. They share a common skepticism of the state, which ignores both the developmental lessons of history and the perverse impac…
Social capital and the imagined community
In June 1998, the Philippines celebrated its ‘centennial’, but the anniversary was riddled with ambiguity as it marked the anniversary of both the declaration of the first independent republic in Asia and the colonisation of the islands by the United States. Since the stillborn birth of the first Philippine Republic in June 1898, the people of this repeatedly colonised archipelago have struggled to define what it means to be Filipino. With extrem…

The business of aid
The European Union has emerged as one of the world's largest aid donors. However, its multilateral aid programme, while well-placed to set a new standard in development assistance, suffers from problems of democratic accountability confronting all transnational actors in an increasingly global community. Examination of the rules governing the European Commission's aid programme to Asian and Latin American countries reveals a pattern of perverse i…
Organizing for Democracy
The number, variety, and political prominence of non-governmental organization in the Philippines present a unique opportunity to study citizen activism. Nearly 60,000 in number by some estimates, grassroots and support organizations promote the interests of farmers, the urban poor, women, and indigenous peoples. They provide an avenue for political participation and a mechanism, unequaled elsewhere in Southeast Asia, for redressing the inequitie…

Managing the 'main force
Despite the success of the Communist Party of the Philippines in winning rural support, its work has consistently been characterized by an instrumentalist approach to the peasantry. The article begins with an examination of the foundations of the party's attitude towards the peasantry and its roots in Marxist-Leninist theory and practice It goes to consider evidence of the party's instrumental approach in practice, examining the impact on legal p…
