Book Synopsis The Anti-Marcos Struggle by : Mark R. Thompson
Download or read book The Anti-Marcos Struggle written by Mark R. Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippine dictatorship of Ferdinand E. Marcos was characterized by family-based rule and corruption. This sultanistic regime--in which the ruler exercised power freely, without loyalty to any ideology or institution--had to be brought down because Marcos would never step down. In this book Mark Thompson analyzes how Marcos' opponents in the political and economic elite coped with this situation and why their struggle resulted in a transition to democracy through "people power" rather than through violence and revolution. Based on 150 interviews that Thompson conducted with key participants and on unpublished materials collected during his five trips to the Philippines, the book sheds new light on the transition process. Thompson reveals how anti-Marcos politicians backed a terrorist campaign by social democrats and then, after its failure, joined a "united front" with the communists. But when opposition leader Benigno S. Aquino, Jr., was assassinated in 1983, the politicians were able to draw on public outrage and challenge Marcos at the polls. The opposition's "moral crusade" brought down Marcos and enabled the new president, Corazon C. Aquino, to consolidate democracy despite the troubling legacies of the dictatorship. Thompson argues that the Philippines' long-standing democratic tradition and the appeal that honest government had to the Filipinos were important elements in explaining the peaceful transition process.

Book Synopsis Social Cleavage and Political Parties in the Post-Marcos Philippines by : Carl Herman Landé
Download or read book Social Cleavage and Political Parties in the Post-Marcos Philippines written by Carl Herman Landé and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the legacies of Ferdinand Marcos' "constitutional authoritarianism" has been the near-displacement of the two old and well established political parties which monopolized Philippine politics before martial law. Today they are only minor players on the Philippine political stage. Their weakness, shown by their failure to withstand the six short years between the abolition of the Philippine Congress in 1972 and the holding of the elections in 1978 for Marcos' Interim Legislative Assembly, reveals one of the major flaws of pre-martial law Philippine democracy: The absence of a strong, responsive and responsible party system. We attribute the early successes and later weaknesses of the old parties to their failure to reflect in their rivalry the major social cleavages of Philippine society. Since the parties were virtually identical in their demographic and socio-economic bases of support, they were indistinguishable in their policies as well. This created an appearance of national harmony by avoiding serious debate over socially divisive issues of national policy. It also served to personalize and trivialize election campaigns. But if political parties do not reflect the salient cleavages of a society and thus promote the discussion and resolution of social issues by democratic means, the social conflict may move outside the electoral arena and be addressed by force. This happened in the Philippines. In this paper, we examine election returns, census data and some data on the issue orientations of members of the new Congress with a view to discerning whether the divisions of the post-Marcos political party system better reflect major social cleavages. We found that there were clear differences between the geographic and socio-economic sources of support for the two major party coalitions. But these differences mainly reflect linguistic-regional loyalties--notably the presence or absence of Ilocano-speaking voters--to the principal presidential contenders of 1986. These differences between rival coalitions are not likely to endure after the last of the standard-bearers of 1986 have left the political scene. There were some minor differences in socio-economic sources of electoral support at the 1987 congressional election among the parties in the now dominant anti-Marcos coalition. yet these were not mirrored in the policy orientations of their Congressional blocks. Outside of the major coalitions however, the communist-led Alliance for a New Politics at the 1987 congressional election showed that it had both a class based and regional, if numerically limited, base of voter support. Its strongest predictor was farm tenancy. We conclude with an examination of the development of party systems in Latin American and Western Europe pertinent to the prospects and probable direction of change in the Philippines "catch-all" party system."

Book Synopsis Fighting from a Distance by : Jose V. Fuentecilla
Download or read book Fighting from a Distance written by Jose V. Fuentecilla and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During February 1986, a grassroots revolution overthrew the fourteen-year dictatorship of former president Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. In this book, Jose V. Fuentecilla describes how Filipino exiles and immigrants in the United States played a crucial role in this victory, acting as the overseas arm of the opposition to help return their country to democracy. A member of one of the major U.S.-based anti-Marcos movements, Fuentecilla tells the story of how small groups of Filipino exiles--short on resources and shunned by some of their compatriots--arrived and survived in the United States during the 1970s, overcame fear, apathy, and personal differences to form opposition organizations after Marcos's imposition of martial law, and learned to lobby the U.S. government during the Cold War. In the process, he draws from multiple hours of interviews with the principal activists, personal files of resistance leaders, and U.S. government records revealing the surveillance of the resistance by pro-Marcos White House administrations. The first full-length book to detail the history of U.S.-based opposition to the Marcos regime, Fighting from a Distance provides valuable lessons on how to persevere against a well-entrenched opponent.

Book Synopsis The Patagonian Sublime by : Marcos Mendoza
Download or read book The Patagonian Sublime written by Marcos Mendoza and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patagonian Sublime provides a vivid, accessible, and cutting-edge investigation of the green economy and New Left politics in Argentina. Based on extensive field research in Glaciers National Park and the mountain village of El Chaltén, Marcos Mendoza deftly examines the diverse social worlds of alpine mountaineers, adventure trekkers, tourism entrepreneurs, seasonal laborers, park rangers, land managers, scientists, and others involved in the green economy. Mendoza explores the fraught intersection of the green economy with the New Left politics of the Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner governments. Mendoza documents the strategies of capitalist development, national representation, and political rule embedded in the “green productivist” agenda pursued by Kirchner and Fernández. Mendoza shows how Andean Patagonian communities have responded to the challenges of community-based conservation, the fashioning of wilderness zones, and the drive to create place-based monopolies that allow ecotourism destinations to compete in the global consumer economy.
Book Synopsis Strong Patronage, Weak Parties: The Case For Electoral System Redesign In The Philippines by : Paul Hutchcroft
Download or read book Strong Patronage, Weak Parties: The Case For Electoral System Redesign In The Philippines written by Paul Hutchcroft and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current combination of electoral systems in the Philippines essentially guarantees the perpetuation of weak and incoherent political parties. As long as parties are weak and lacking in coherence, the primary focus of political contention is much more likely to be on patronage and pork than on policies and programs. As political reformers seek to address these fundamental problems of the Philippine polity, there is no better place to start than through a well-constructed set of changes to the electoral system.In this volume, expert contributors survey major types of electoral systems found throughout the world, explain their powerful influence on both democratic quality and development outcomes, and explore the comparative political dynamics of reform processes. A recurring theme is the virtue of a mixed electoral system involving some element of closed-list proportional representation — known internationally as one of the most effective means of building stronger and more coherent political parties. This, in turn, can be expected to encourage the emergence of a more policy-oriented (and less patronage-driven) polity.

Book Synopsis Passionate Revolutions by : Talitha Espiritu
Download or read book Passionate Revolutions written by Talitha Espiritu and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last three decades, the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos has commanded the close scrutiny of scholars. These studies have focused on the political repression, human rights abuses, debt-driven growth model, and crony capitalism that defined Marcos’ so-called Democratic Revolution in the Philippines. But the relationship between the media and the regime’s public culture remains underexplored. In Passionate Revolutions, Talitha Espiritu evaluates the role of political emotions in the rise and fall of the Marcos government. Focusing on the sentimental narratives and melodramatic cultural politics of the press and the cinema from 1965 to 1986, she examines how aesthetics and messaging based on heightened feeling helped secure the dictator’s control while also galvanizing the popular struggles that culminated in “people power” and government overthrow in 1986. In analyzing news articles, feature films, cultural policy documents, and propaganda films as national allegories imbued with revolutionary power, Espiritu expands the critical discussion of dictatorships in general and Marcos’s in particular by placing Filipino popular media and the regime’s public culture in dialogue. Espiritu’s interdisciplinary approach in this illuminating case study of how melodrama and sentimentality shape political action breaks new ground in media studies, affect studies, and Southeast Asian studies.
