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.

  • 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.

Rodrigo Duterte stood on a strong ‘law and order’ platform , pledging to transfer to the national level the tough approach to criminals he had taken over the years in Davao – especially those involved in the drugs trade – which critics argue extended to encouraging a ‘shoot-to-kill’ policy by both the security forces and private vigilantes. He said he would wipe out crime across the country within six months of taking office. Since the new president was inaugurated at the end of June 2016, security issues have dominated the political scene. The most recent official figure for the number of people killed in the context of the ‘war on drugs since President Duterte took office is just over 3,100 people, about one-third of whom have been killed by the police.

  • 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.

  • A Semiotic Analysis of Philippine Political Internet Memes Alma Cita Calimbo1
    CASS Langkit Journal, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines Vol. 06 (2015-2016) Deconstructing Myths Via Humor: A Semiotic Analysis of Philippine Political Internet Memes Alma Cita Calimbo1 Abstract The study is a qualitative-descriptive analysis of 12 randomly selected Philippine political internet memes. Utilizing Berger’s (2004) Semiotic Theory of Humor and Barthes’s (1991) concept of myth, the study examined how the humorous signifiers in the political internet memes deconstruct dominant political ideologies of modern (Philippine) society which appear natural and normal. Findings revealed that contrasts and binary oppositions in both images and captions portraying code violations are the humorous signifiers in the memes. Humor in the memes is basically aggressive, as it ridicules and satirizes representatives of power, the political elite, for their undesirable qualities and practices which are in stark contrast with (or violations of) the righteous and moralistic slogan of the present administration, that is, ‘Daang Matuwid.’ Through the internet memes, the belief that a new administration can be a ‘messiah’ who can save the masses from their present sorry condition is deconstructed. As the analysis shows, humor in the internet memes exposes some political ideological constructs which are naturalized or normalized in the Philippine society. Through humor, such ideologies are unmasked and the public is brought to awareness of what is really behind seemingly normal or natural events in the Philippine political arena. This means that Filipino humor, apart from being a mere expression of fun and entertainment, has the potential to express dissent especially against some ills in the society. Recommendations for future research are included.

  • The Republic of the Philippines and U.S. Interests--2014
    The Republic of the Philippines and U.S. Interests—2014 Thomas Lum Specialist in Asian Affairs Ben Dolven Specialist in Asian Affairs May 15, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43498 The Republic of the Philippines and U.S. Interests—2014 Summary The United States and the Republic of the Philippines maintain close ties stemming from the U.S. colonial period (1898-1946), the bilateral security alliance bound by the Mutual Defense Treaty of 1951, and common strategic and economic interests. In the past decade, the Philippines has been one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign assistance in Southeast Asia, including both military and development aid. Many observers say that U.S. public and private support to the Philippines following Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), which struck the central part of the country on November 8, 2013, bolstered the already strong bilateral relationship. Although the United States closed its military bases in the Philippines in 1992, the two sides have maintained security cooperation. Joint counterterrorism efforts, in which U.S. forces play a non- combat role, have helped to reduce Islamist terrorist threats in Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago in the southern Philippines. During the past year, Washington and Manila have held discussions on the framework for an increased, non-permanent U.S. military presence in the Philippines. Since 2012, the Philippines has played a key role in the Obama Administration’s “rebalancing” of foreign policy priorities to Asia, particularly as maritime territorial disputes between China and other claimants in the South China Sea have intensified.

  • Kris Aquino and The/As a Philippine Horror Genre Louie Jon A
    Kris Aquino and the/as a Philippine Horror Genre Louie Jon A. Sanchez Ana Felisa E. Lorenzo & John Andrew Del Prado (Translators) This paper discusses Kris Aquino as text vis-à-vis as a unique horror genre, within the context of her title as the “Philippine Box Office Horror Queen.” While foregrounding comprehensive arguments about Aquino’s textuality, the essay also reveals her cinematic history, which has crowned Aquino as the queen of the genre, which the author calls, pelikula ng lagim [translation]. This cinematic history is used as a narrative guide in constructing an in-depth scrutiny on the concepts of genre, lagim, and the pelikula ng lagim. The author strategically plays with these concepts, thus heightening their meaning, while revealing the rich, covert discourse of Aquino as a genre that has launched itself as “a culture of kasarian” [literally, gender, but by way of a Filipino root word, sari, variety, or more appropriately, polysemy], highlighted in the two franchise Feng Shui movies (Roño, 2004, 2014), where she played the heroine. While these movies may be said to have placed the Philippines into the realm of Asian Horror Films, they also present Aquino as a text that is “becoming a complete genre.” Keywords: Kris Aquino, tekstuwalidad, pelikula ng lagim, genre, Feng Shui A generic look at Kris Aquino This essay may begin by setting its key words. First, genre. On one hand, its definition is no secret, although there are new ways of looking at this word, which is closely linked to writing, even the “writing” created through the practice of reading.
