Foreign Service Institute, Dept. of Foreign Affairs – Manila 50 Years and Beyond v FOREWORD The impression of two great nations, Iran and the Philippines, toward each other is clear, amicable and friendly. Centuries ago, Persian navigators paved their way through thousands of kilometers toward East Asia and reached this land, establishing linkages between the peoples and cultures of both countries. This continued up to the contemporary era, with the last 50 years binding it officially with bilateral relations. Their shared experiences in withstanding colonization in their quest for independence and freedom have generated common cultural traits that are adhered to and appreciated by the peoples of both nations. In 2015, accounts over the 50 years of diplomatic relations were presented to the scientific and official establishments in celebration of this amicable bond. The International Conference on Philippine-Iran Relations: 50 Years and Beyond was the outcome of a joint effort by the Iranian Embassy and the Cultural Section of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran - Manila, in cooperation with the University of the Philippines-Diliman and scholars who shared their scientific and practical experiences with the ultimate objective of enhancing the relations between the two nations. Scholars, elites, experts and thinkers who presented their methodical essays and lectures added to the scientific enrichment of the gathering. The academic session that was held is a good example for scholarly gatherings in the future and a valuable stimulus for activists who are engaged in political, cultural and economic endeavors. vi PHILIPPINE-IRAN RELATIONS Foreword The event, definitely, owed its occurrence to its organizer, the late Cultural Counselor Dr. Kiyomars Amiri (peace be on his departed soul). The few months of Dr. Amiri's tour of duty in the Philippines saw his various efforts and endowment in different fields. Sad to say, the inevitable came and we are left with our mind full of his recollections. We plead to God Almighty to bless the soul of that Man of Culture. This compilation is the summation of the conference's articles and scientific works. It is presented with the hope that those who are interested in enhancing the mutual relations between the two nations may find some benefit in it. Finally, I would like to render my best thanks and appreciation to those who gave their ultimate efforts to bring the event into a success, particularly His Excellency Ali Asghar Mohammadi, former Ambassador of I.R. of Iran to the Philippines, Dr. Henelito Sevilla, Jr., Assistant Dean of the Asian Center in U.P. Diliman and Coordinator of its West Asia Studies Program, and other respectful colleagues of mine. Mohammad Jafarimalek Cultural Counselor Cultural Section, I. R. of Iran Embassy - Manila 50 Years and Beyond vii PREFACE This book, “Philippine - Iran Relations: Fifty Years and Beyond”, is perhaps one of the best books that have been written on bilateral relations between Iran and the Philippines since it has covered the views and opinions of a group of informed and experienced scholars and experts. In the last half century, there were a number of similarities in the historic course of developments between Iran and the Philippines. However, I believe the closest one is the human factor. The biggest and perhaps the most important asset of both countries is their people who played scientific and economic roles beyond their geographical national boundaries and is worthy of respect and reverence by the international community. The developments in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East region, and the formation of new political and economic trends in the geographical sphere of East Asia, have created conditions that make it incumbent upon Iran and the Philippines to review and take into consideration their traditional relations. Should the bilateral ties be reconsidered, the Iranian people have to look into their relations with the Philippines in a futuristic and deeper way while the Filipino people further require a more independent and coherent approach in their connections with Iran. viii PHILIPPINE-IRAN RELATIONS Preface It seems there are so many things that the two nations can learn from each other and a lot of new opportunities that both countries can provide for their economic growth and prosperity. But despite all these, the two nations’ knowledge and understanding of each other is limited and that is the biggest obstacle to developing closer cooperation and deeper communications. I think the most urgent task facing the intellectuals, elite and educated people of the two countries is sustaining the contemporary relations with the objective of further strengthening and deepening this. Filipinos and Iranians are in need of a consistent and continuous effort to find out about each others real capacity and capabilities, and pave the way for a more beneficial future for both nations through mutual decision and determination.

BEISSINGER Princeton University sing two unusual surveys, this study analyzes participation in the 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine, comparing participants with revolution supporters, opponents, counter-revolutionaries, U and the apathetic/inactive. As the analysis shows, most revolutionaries were weakly committed to the revolution’s democratic master narrative, and the revolution’s spectacular mobilizational success was largely due to its mobilization of cultural cleavages and symbolic capital to construct a negative coalition across diverse policy groupings. A contrast is drawn between urban civic revolutions like the Orange Revolution and protracted peasant revolutions. The strategies associated with these revolution- ary models affect the roles of revolutionary organization and selective incentives and the character of revolutionary coalitions. As the comparison suggests, postrevolutionary instability may be built into urban civic revolutions due to their reliance on a rapidly convened negative coalition of hundreds of thousands, distinguished by fractured elites, lack of consensus over fundamental policy issues, and weak commitment to democratic ends. t is widely acknowledged that the character of political freedoms in their immediate wake, though in revolution has

  • Ateneo Factcheck 2016
    FactCheck/ Information Brief on Peace Process (GPH/MILF) and an Autonomous Bangsamoro Western Mindanao has been experiencing an armed conflict for more than forty years, which claimed more than 150,000 souls and numerous properties. As of 2016 and in spite of a 17-year long truce between the parties, war traumas and chronic insecurity continue to plague the conflict-affected areas and keep the ARMM in a state of under-development, thus wasting important economic opportunities for the nation as a whole. Two major peace agreements and their annexes constitute the framework for peace and self- determination. The Final Peace Agreement (1996) signed by the Moro National Liberation Front and the government and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (2014), signed by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, both envision – although in different manners – the realization of self-governance through the creation of a (genuinely) autonomous region which would allow the Moro people to live accordingly to their culture and faith. The Bangsamoro Basic Law is the emblematic implementing measure of the CAB. It is a legislative piece which aims at the creation of a Bangsamoro Political Entity, which should enjoy a certain amount of executive and legislative powers, according to the principle of subsidiarity. The 16th Congress however failed to pass the law, despite a year-long consultative process and the steady advocacy efforts of many peace groups. Besides the BBL, the CAB foresees the normalization of the region, notably through its socio-economic rehabilitation and the demobilization and reinsertion of former combatants. The issue of peace in Mindanao is particularly complex because it involves: - Security issues: peace and order through security sector agencies (PNP/ AFP), respect of ceasefires, control on arms;- Peace issues: peace talks (with whom? how?), respect and implementation of the peace agreements;- But also economic development;- And territorial and governance reforms to achieve regional autonomy.

  • People Power: the Everyday Politics of Democratic Resistance in Burma and the Philippines
    People Power: The Everyday Politics of Democratic Resistance in Burma and the Philippines Nicholas Henry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations Victoria University of Wellington 2011 ii ... the tale he had to tell could not be one of a final victory. It could be only the record of what had had to be done, and what assuredly would have to be done again in the never ending fight against terror and its relentless onslaughts, despite their personal afflictions, by all who, while unable to be saints but refusing to bow down to pestilences, strive their utmost to be healers. Albert Camus, The Plague This thesis is dedicated to all those who, resisting the terror of state violence, continue to do what has to be done. iii Abstract How do Community Based Organisations (CBOs) in Burma and the Philippines participate in the construction of political legitimacy through their engagement in local and international politics? What can this tell us about the agency of non-state actors in international relations? This thesis explores the practices of non-state actors engaged in political resistance in Burma and the Philippines. The everyday dynamics of political legitimacy are examined in relation to popular consent, political violence, and the influence of international actors and norms. The empirical research in this thesis is based on a grounded theory analysis of in-depth semi-structured interviews with a wide cross-section of spokespeople and activists of opposition groups from Burma, and with spokespeople of opposition groups in the Philippines.

EUROPEAN POLICY BRIEF COMPETING INTEGRATIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The Erosion of Liberalism and the Rise of Duterte in the Philippines This brief situates the rise and continued popularity of President Rodrigo Duterte within an intellectual history of Philippine liberalism. First, the history of the Philippine liberal tradition is examined beginning in the nineteenth century before it became the dominant mode of elite governance in the twentieth century. It then argues that “Dutertismo” (the dominant ideology and practice in the Philippines today) is both a reaction to, and an assault on, this liberal tradition. It concludes that the crisis brought about by the election of Duterte presents an opportunity for liberalism in the Philippines to be reimagined to confront the challenges faced by this country of almost 110 million people.

  • Islam in the Philippines
    ISLAM IN THE PHILIPPINES Michael Diamond Peter Gowing Memorial Research Center “We are no longer free.” “We are oppressed and exploited.” “I do not consider myself a Filipino.” “We are losing our cultural heritage and our identity.” “Water in a saucer full to the brim in the hands of someone unpredictable and capricious is in constant danger of spilling over and of being absorbed by other elements or of just evaporating into nothingness. This is how we feel about the present system .“ These comments were made recently by Muslims living in the Philippines. The following reflections are a very personal view about what has been happening in these islands and of how this situation has come to be. Apart from my own personal thoughts, I sought out the views of Muslims living in Mindanao, mainly of the Maranao group but there were some Tausug and Sama included as well. It became increasingly clear to me as I enquired about their feelings that it is more accurate to speak of Muslims who live in the Philippines rather than of Filipino Muslims. Many of them do not consider themselves to be part of the body politic of the Republic. The problems and pains of the Muslim minority are not confined to them alone. There are many minority groups in the Philippines. In practically all of the larger islands we find many dozens of different tribal groups, each with its own language and culture. There are the T’boli of Mindanao, the Bontoc of Luzon, the Negritos of the Visayas and so on.

  • Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.
