  • The Philippine Left in a Changing Land
    The Philippine Left in a Changing Land On October 21 nine members of the Philippine National Federation of Sugar Workers were shot dead while participating in a protest. The killers are assumed to be employed by local capitalists. Killings of union, peasant, and other activists have increased sharply under President Duterte. Dozens of activists have already been killed. Under Duterte’s authoritarian rule, the Philippine left is faced with new difficulties. Three weeks before the killings of the trade unionists, the Philippine Daily Enquirer published the headline “Duterte fires last leftist in government.” The leftist in question is Joel Maglunsod, undersecretary of the Department of Labor and Employment, formerly a leader of the Kilusan Mayo Uno trade- union movement.1 Meanwhile, attacks by the armed wing of the Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army (NPA), increased after a ceasefire broke down in early 2017. Lasting roughly half a year, it was the longest ceasefire ever between the NPA and a Philippine government. But even when it still had allies in the government, the CPP had begun to denounce the Duterte regime as fascist and a pawn of the United States. How to explain such contradictions? Much international news about Duterte is concerned with the “war on drugs” he unleashed. Since Duterte assumed office in July 2016, conservative estimates indicate that the police or state- sponsored death squads have killed more than 12,000, almost exclusively from the most impoverished sections of Philippine society. The real number of casualties is likely much higher. During his presidential campaign, Duterte made clear that he was planning to organize large-scale violence.

More recently, one facet social reform was the “crossover” of personnel from the development non-government organisations (NGO) within the associational sphere over to occupying government positions. Benigno Aquino’s government have most recently incorporated both important development NGO leaders and a non-mainstream political party – Akbayan (the Citizen’s Action Party) – into a formal coalition. The hope was that these alliances sections of the political elite and civil society leaders would result in substantive social and economic reforms. Arguably, the process of crossover was a reflection of two broad trends.

  • Political Party Internationals As Guardians of Democracy – Their Untapped Potential ROGER HÄLLHAG
    Political Party Internationals as Guardians of Democracy – Their Untapped Potential ROGER HÄLLHAG he gains of the world wave of democratization in the 1990s are yet to T be consolidated. Some democracies are not being seen to deliver ac- cording to voters’ expectations. Anti-democratic ideas and autocrats have made a comeback in some countries. The meaning and means of democ- racy promotion have become controversial. Even so, the tremendous gains in political freedom across the world over the past two decades are real. The proliferation of freely formed political parties is a key feature. Now political parties need to make the effort – and be given the chance and time – to build effective, lasting democratic governance. It is in the nature of any political party to reassert the particularity of its mission, character, and leadership ambitions. But leaving aside the de- tails of daily politicking, political parties across the world show remark- able similarities. They follow comparable logics and share sources of in- spiration in terms of identity, organization, policies, and communication techniques. Successful parties have always been role models. The Party Internationals are channels for such broad convergence. Instant and uni- versal access to political news adds force to this. With economic and cul- tural globalization a common stage has been created (some say, imposed) for politics and policies – although this also brings with it the threat of nationalism and »anti-globalization.« The five existing party-based world organizations represent this global landscape of convergence into political families. At the same time, there are many political forces in the new multifaceted world that do not fit in.
