In the Name of Civil Society
In the Name of Civil Society examines Philippine politics in a highly original and provocative way. Hedman's detailed analysis shows how dominant elites in the Philippines shore up the structures of liberal democracy in order to ensure their continued hegemony over Philippine society. This book will be of interest to everyone concerned with civil society and the processes of democratization and democracy in capitalist societies." -Paul D. Hutchcr…
Authoritarianism and Democracy
Introduction
Southeast Asia in the twenty-first century is no longer what it used to be, at least not at its ASEAN core. By the 1990s, competitive elections had (re)emerged as the primary mechanism for the assumption of state office in the Philippines and Thailand. By the turn of the century, Indonesia had experienced two orderly transfers of presidential power, as well as the country’s freest and fairest elections since 1955. Meanwhile, opposition parties ma…
The Politics of “Public Opinion” in the Philippines
In May 2010, national elections in the Philippines saw front-runner presidential candidate Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III win a landslide victory which set the stage for an orderly transition of power from the administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. This article argues that Aquino's victory, rather than signalling a clear departure from the old ways of doing politics or the mere reproduction of established patterns of oligarchical politics, point…
Conflict, Violence, and Displacement in Indonesia
This volume foregrounds the dynamics of displacement and the experiences of internal refugees uprooted by conflict and violence in Indonesia. Contributors examine internal displacement in the context of militarized conflict and violence in East Timor, Aceh, and Papua, and in other parts of Outer Island Indonesia during the transition from authoritarian rule. The volume also explores official and humanitarian discourses on displacement and their s…
Refuge, Governmentality and Citizenship
This article directs attention to dynamics of refuge and governmentality in a region of the ‘global South’, South-East Asia, and brings into focus the major recipients of (forced) migrants, Malaysia and Thailand, neither of which is a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, or the 1967 Protocol. Against the backdrop of the illuminating contrast offered by the Thai case, this article argues that, in the case of Malaysia, the mobilization of ‘vol…
Forced Migration in Southeast Asia
This essay explores a revisionist argument about the nature and direction of conflict and refugee movements in Southeast Asia during the Cold War and thereafter. By focusing more systematic attention on processes of national integration in post-colonial state and society, this essay provides an important corrective to perspectives that privilege Cold War geopolitics and ideology. Similarly, a comparative investigation into processes of (re)democr…
The Philippines in 2005
The year 2005 witnessed much argument and effort—to enact tax reforms, impeach the president, combat terrorism, amend the Constitution, and end long-standing armed insurgencies—and little real change. The outcome of these specific initiatives is likely to remain largely unresolved in 2006, as is the broader issue of the stability and substance of democracy in the Philippines, a question that loomed large throughout 2005
The Philippines
The Spectre of Populism in Philippine Politics and Society
This paper seeks to explore the origins of the populist appeal of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada, and to recapture some of its peculiar workings in the broader context of Philippine post-colonial politics and society. To that end, the paper provides a brief glimpse of the rapidly changing urban landscape which first saw the rise of Estrada as the superstar of the moviescreen and the mayor of San Juan municipality in Metropolitan Manila during …
Contesting State and Civil Society
The spectre of civil society is haunting South East Asia. Witness Manila's 'People Power' in 1986, Bangkok's 'No-More-Dictatorship' demonstrations in 1992, and, most recently, the Reformasi movements centered on Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur in 1998. Indeed, these recent waves of popular mobilization have underscored the significance of civil society-as political discourse and social terrain-for the successful launching of challenges against the non-d…
State of Siege
Thus sounded powerful voices during the transition from authoritarian rule in the Philippines of the late 1980s. On the one hand, the most notorious manifestation of uncivil society, the so-called vigilante volunteers of the Alsa Masa ("Masses Arise"), reverberating with widely reported anticommunist fanaticism and extrajudicial violence. On the other hand, the highest-ranking official of coercive state apparatuses, AFP chief of staff Fidel V. Ra…
Mapping the Movement
This paper examines the organization, activities, and degree of success of the National Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) in the Philippine presidential elections of 1986 in six provincial cities — Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, and Zamboanga. Important in mobilizing support for local NAMFREL chapters were the Catholic Church, institutions of tertiary education, and, of particular concern in this paper, local business and profe…
Constructing Civil Society
At three critical junctures before the recent restoration of formal democratic institutions and procedures under President Corazon Aquino (1986–92), Philippine presidential elections have seen the emergence of national campaigns for ‘free and clean elections’. In each case, an ostensibly non-partisan, cross-class movement in the spirit of non-violence, citizenship and voluntarism took on the ‘guns, goons and gold’ long associated with Philippine …
In Search of Oppositions
ANY INVESTIGATION OF POLITICAL OPPOSITIONS IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC must necessarily begin, if not end, with the obvious. First of all, there is the evident weakness of political oppositions in much of this part of the world today — whether we focus on the commonly capitalized ‘Opposition’ denoting ‘a political party opposing,and serving as a check on, the party in power’ (Webster's, italics added), or on the more variegated lower case ‘alternative op…
