  • Using Force to Gain Voice: the Prospects and Limits of Using Coercive Mechanisms to Secure Deliberative Inclusion
    USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION by NICOLE PAULA CURATO A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham April 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION This thesis analyses the impact of marginalised groups using coercive mechanisms as a strategy for deliberative inclusion. It engages the literature on deliberative democratic theory that makes a case for using non-linguistic mechanisms to gain entry to exclusionary deliberative forums. This research explores its limits through a linguistic-based microanalysis of an ―extreme‖ case where marginalised political agents employed threats of force – the apparent antithesis of deliberation – in an attempt to secure inclusion. The case is that of a military mutiny in the Philippines in 2003, where a group of junior officers took over the central business district to publicly air their demands for reform to the military.

  • The Familiar Senate
    CongressWatch Report No. 175 Report No. 175 11 April 2013 Part 2 of the 2013 Election Series of CongressWatch The familiar Senate The political dynamics in the Senate often differs from the House of Representatives, particularly on the issues of the national budget and on the proposed amendments to the Constitution. They also have a different take on key measures—the reproductive health law and the law restructur- ing excise taxes of alcohol and tobacco products, based on their vote records (yes-no-abstain): Responsible Parenthood Restructuring the excise taxes of and Reproductive Health alcohol and tobacco products Act House of Representatives HB 4244: 133-79-7 HB 5727: 210-21-5 Senate SB 2865: 13-8-0 SB 3299: 10-9-0 The Senate is also different in the elections since only 12 of the 24 slots are up for grabs every na- tional election. Each senator has a six-year term and is eligible for re-election, not exceeding two consecutive terms. Unlike in the House of Representatives, the Senate, as an institution, is not completely dissolved in-between elections. According to the Senate website, “the purpose of the continuity of the life of the Senate is intended to encourage the maintenance of policies as well as guarantee that there will be experienced members who can help and train newcomers in the discharge of their duties.” However, at least in the last two elections, veterans and familiar faces made up the Senate roll. This is where the senatorial contest runs similar to those in the legislative districts or even in other elective posts—incumbent and returning officials have had the upper hand.

  • Philippine Mid-Term Elections: a Duterte Double
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 27 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 11 April 2019 Philippine Mid-term Elections: A Duterte Double Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 13 May, the Philippines will hold elections for all local and provincial positions, all seats in the House of Representatives, and half of the 24 seats in the Senate. • If the current opinion polls prove accurate (as they have in the past): o President Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter Sara Duterte, even though neither is running for national office, will be the biggest winners nationally; o the composition of the new Senate will be more favourable to President Duterte and his campaign for a new federal constitution; and o the new Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) party coalition led by Sara Duterte will be well placed for the 2022 presidential and legislative elections. *Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 27 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The 13 May mid-term elections in the Philippines, with over 18,000 elected positions to be decided, will be the second largest exercise in democracy in Southeast Asia this year after the 17 April elections in Indonesia. To the chagrin of drinkers and bettors, on Monday 13 May, the “selling, furnishing, offering, buying, serving, or taking intoxicating liquor” will be prohibited across the Philippines as will the “holding of fairs, cockfights, boxing, horse races or any other similar sports.1 The coverage of Philippine mid-term elections in the post-Marcos era invariably focusses more on the Senate than the House of Representatives or sub-national positions and are seen as a partial referendum on the serving president even though their name does not appear on the ballot.
