  • Agrarian Reform in the Philippines (Newest Outline)
    Politics and Economics of Land Reform in the Philippines: a survey∗ By Nobuhiko Fuwa Chiba University, 648 Matsudo, Matsudo-City, Chiba, 271-8510 Japan [email protected] Phone/Fax: 81-47-308-8932 May, 2000 ∗ A background paper prepared for a World Bank Study, Dynamism of Rural Sector Growth: Policy Lessons from East Asian Countries. The author acknowledges helpful comments by Arsenio Balisacan. Introduction Recent developments in both theoretical and empirical economics literature have demonstrated many aspects of the negative socio-economic consequences of high inequality in the distribution of wealth. High inequality tends to hinder subsequent economic growth (e. g., Persson and Tabellini 1994?), inhibits the poor from realizing their full potential in economic activities and human development through credit constraints (e. g., Deininger and Squire 1998), encourage rent-seeking activities (e. g., Rodrik 1996), and seriously hinder the poverty reduction impact of economic growth (e. g., Ravallion and Dutt ??). The Philippines is a classic example of an economy suffering from all of these consequences. The Philippines has long been known for its high inequality in distribution of wealth and income; unlike many of its Asian neighbors characterized by relatively less inequality by international standards, the Philippine economy has often been compared to Latin American countries which are characterized by high inequality in land distribution. Partly due to its historically high inequality there has long been intermittent incidence of peasant unrest and rural insurgencies in the Philippines. As a result, the issue of land reform (or ‘agrarian reform’ as more commonly called in the Philippines, of which land reform constitutes the major part) has continuously been on political agenda at least since the early part of the 20th century; nevertheless land reform in the Philippines has been, and still is, an unfinished business.

  • Agrarian Reform and the Difficult Road to Peace in the Philippine Countryside
    Report December 2015 Agrarian reform and the difficult road to peace in the Philippine countryside By Danilo T. Carranza Executive summary Agrarian reform and conflict in the rural areas of the Philippines are closely intertwined. The weak government implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, inherent loopholes in the law, strong landowner resistance, weak farmers’ organisations, and the continuing espousal by the New People’s Army of its own agrarian revolution combine to make the government’s agrarian reform programme only partially successful in breaking up land monopolies. This is why poverty is still pronounced in many rural areas. The rise of an agrarian reform movement has significantly contributed to the partial success of the government’s agrarian reform programme. But the government has not been able to tap the full potential of this movement to push for faster and more meaningful agrarian reform. The agrarian reform dynamics between pro- and anti-agrarian reform actors create social tensions that often lead to violence, of which land-rights claimants are often the victims. This is exacerbated and in many ways encouraged by the government’s failure to fulfil its obligation to protect the basic human rights of land-rights claimants. This report outlines the pace and direction of agrarian reform in the Philippines and its role in fighting poverty and promoting peace in rural areas. It emphasises the importance of reform-oriented peasant movements and more effective government implementation to the success of agrarian reform. The report also asserts the need for the government and the armed left to respect human rights and international humanitarian law in promoting the full participation of land-rights claimants in shaping and crafting public policy around land rights.

  • The Small Powers in World Politics Contours of an African-Asian Critical Realism
    African and Asian Studies �3 (�0�4) �3-3� AFRICAN AND ASIAN STUDIES brill.com/aas The Small Powers in World Politics Contours of an African-Asian Critical Realism Pak Nung Wong Department of Applied Social Studies, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China [email protected] George Klay Kieh Jr. Department of Political Science and Planning, University of West Georgia, GA, USA Abstract This paper aims to conceptualize a framework for better understanding the challenges, actions and rationales of the African and Asian small powers in the post-1989 global order. The paper will be divided into three parts. First, it will review the literature on small power/state studies. Second, following a critique of the major approaches in small power studies, we will argue for the need for a critical realist perspective to better cap- ture the relationships between domestic politics and foreign relations of the small power in Africa and Asia. Third, against the comparative trajectories in which the U.S. has attained global hegemony after 1991 and China has gradually become a great power after 2000, in light of the recent U.S. containment policy shift towards China which has stirred up versatile dynamics of East Asian small power politics, in favor of a global multi-polarity, we will highlight the foundation of our approach for building the strong small powers in terms of two main aspects of economic nationalism: resource-focused and sovereignty-asserting. Keywords African and Asian politics – African-Asian critical realism – hegemony and multi- polarity – international relations – small power politics – U.S.-China relations © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���4 | doi �0.��63/�569��08-��34��Downloaded83 from Brill.com10/02/2021 11:56:42AM via free access 14 Wong and Kieh Introduction Pressured by internal public demand, the early 1990s witnessed the Philippines successfully negotiated for the withdrawal of the U.S.
