    Democratization, Ethnic Minorities and the Politics of Self-Determination Reform

    Democratization, Ethnic Minorities and the Politics of Self-Determination Reform Aslıhan Saygılı Submitted in partial fulllment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 ©2019 Aslıhan Saygılı All rights reserved ABSTRACT Democratization, Ethnic Minorities and the Politics of Self-Determination Reform Aslıhan Saygılı Conventional wisdom portrays ethnic minorities as likely victims of democratization who often fall prey to nationalist aggression fueled by power-seeking elites. Yet, history is re- plete with newly democratic states that have not only avoided targeted violence against ethnic "others" but also sought to reconcile with aggrieved ethnic minorities through con- cessions over self-determination. In light of conventional wisdom, this picture is puzzling and raises two important questions: 1) Why is self-determination reform so frequently observed during democratization periods? 2) Why do some democratizing states accom- modate minority demands for self-determination while others continue to neglect minority grievances, or worse, become a breeding ground for exclusionary nationalism and minority repression? This dissertation is dedicated to addressing these questions. To answer the rst question, I develop a novel theory of self-determination reform that explains the condi- tions under which government leaders develop both the capacity and incentives to intro- duce policies that devolve some degree of autonomy to separatist minorities. The theory pinpoints early democratization as a critical juncture where two key conditions neces- sary for self-determination reform - limited institutional constraints to rule and threats to elite survival - are most likely to be observed together. During early democratization, newly democratic governments are able to push forward radical policy changes without the meddling of institutionally empowered veto players, who typically gain more leverage as the democratic regime consolidates.

The paper attempts to describe the similarities and differences between culture and communications in the Philippines and the United States. An historical-descriptive qualitative methodology is utilized. The paper uses selected stories that specify culture and political economy to glean the reality of what has transpired in the Philippines and the role the American and Philippine media, print and electronic, played both as observer and participant. Language and geography are considered principal elements of culture in the paper. The paper is taken from the content of a seminar in international broadcasting presently given at Eastern Illl.s.Ls University. (Seventy-five references are attached.)

LAND REFORM ON MULTINATIONAL CORPORATE PLANTATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES: CASE STUDIES OF THE APPLICATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE AGRARIAN REFORM PROGRAMME (1988) A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Development Studies Massey University Tony John Banlcs 1993 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the implications of a recent agrarian reform programme in the Philippines for multinational corporate (MNC) plantations. Its central purpose is to assess and explain the land tenure consequences of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Programme as it applied to MNC plantations. This entails an examination of the economic and political factors underlying both the passing of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Programme in 1988 and its subsequent implementation on plantations. Though there is no coherent theory of land reform as it applies to MNC plantations two bodies of literature are very relevant: the political economy of land reform and the political economy of MNC expropriation in developing countries. These were drawn upon to provide general hypotheses that are tested in this study. These are that the relationship between the political and landowning elites of developing countries and the relationship between the political elites and the transnational economy are critical determinants of the political economy of land reform on MNC plantations. More specifically, in the context of the Philippine political economy, it is hypothesized that the close ties between the political and landowning elites, and their shared interests with, and ties to, MNCs, coupled with the economy's dependence on the corporations, has resulted in the agrarian reform programme bringing about no substantial change in MNt land tenure relations.

    Induced Forest Fires in Region 8 Published April 26, 2020, 11:06 AM by Marie Tonette Marticio

    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE April 27, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : DENR enjoins public to report human- induced forest fires in Region 8 Published April 26, 2020, 11:06 AM By Marie Tonette Marticio TACLOBAN City – The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 8 (DENR-8) is urging the public to report any forest fire that could have been caused by careless individuals. “The first line of defense against forest fire is to avoid starting a fire. If it cannot be avoided, make sure you watch over and control it,” Forester Allan Cebuano, Chief, Enforcement Division Chief of DENR 8 noted. It was learned that some of the most recent incidents of forest fires in Eastern Visayas were caused by farming activities such as “kaingin (slash and burn farming)”, smoking of honeycombs to gather honey, cigarette butts, and other forms of activities that involve fire. These reportedly went out of control, and caused the widespread fire in the area. Cebuano added that barangay officials must be informed immediately upon the detection of forest fires. The officials are tasked to report to the concerned disaster risk and reduction management council where a protocol is already in-place for the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), as well as other appropriate agencies to respond. Cebuano also warned that unscrupulous individuals who will cause forest fires could be criminally charged under Presidential Decree 705 otherwise known as the “Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines” which provides penalties amounting to not less than P500 to not more than P20,000, and imprisonment of not less than six months or not more than two years.
