Today, the victories of the international movements for human 7 rights, peace, religious pluralism, and racial and gender equality are in danger. 8 9 The siege rises out of the failures of the liberal agenda, which have resulted in massive inequality 10 and the concentration of power and wealth in the very few. The reweighing of values that followed 11 these failures was not only predictable but inevitable. The world cried for change. Change never 12 came.

A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Communication Milwaukee, Wisconsin August 2021 ABSTRACT POPULISM AND THE CIVIL SPHERE: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE “WAR ON DRUGS” IN THE PHILIPPINES Nathaniel Lubanga, B.A., S.T.B. Marquette University, 2021 A poignant photograph on the front page of a leading newspaper in the Philippines showing a woman cradling the lifeless body of her dead partner drew both local and international attention and outcry over the new president’s approach to the “war on drugs.” The purpose of this study was to determine the overarching story told by the photographs of the “war on drugs” in the Philippines. A textual analysis drawing upon both narrative and semiotic analysis was used to examine the settings, characters, plots, and symbolism in 143 photographs of “Killings” and “Protests” drawn from various news media agencies.

  • Stability and Performance of Political Parties in Southeast Asia Philippines, Party-Less No More? (Emerging Practices of Party Politics in the Philippines)
    Stability and Performance of Political Parties in Southeast Asia Philippines, Party-Less No More? (Emerging Practices of Party Politics in the Philippines) Joy Aceron∗ Political Democracy and Reforms (PODER) Ateneo School of Government (ASoG) With support from Friedrich Naumann Stiftung for Liberty-Philippine Office Background The role of political parties in making democracy work is well-discoursed and, at least in theory, is also well-accepted. Worldwide, however, there is growing dissatisfaction towards parties and party politics. This is more apparent in countries where democracy is weak and parties serve other un-democratic purposes. Parties are supposed to serve the purpose of interest aggregation, leadership formation and candidate-selection. However, in some countries like the Philippines, parties have largely been a mechanism to facilitate patronage and personality-oriented politics. In the Philippines, much of the studies on political parties discuss how the lack of functioning political parties and under-developed or mal-developed party system weakens democratic practice. Studies on political parties have established the negative impact of wrongly-developed and underperforming political parties on democratization. Almonte would observe that “because of its weaknesses, the party system has failed to offer meaningful policy choices—and so to provide for orderly change” (2007; 66). In the same vein, Hutchcroft and Rocamora note that “Philippine-style democracy provides a convenient system by which power can be rotated at the top without effective participation of those below” (2003; 274). Other Philippine literature on political parties focus on eXplaining mal-development and under-performance of political parties (Timberman 1991; Lande 1965; Aceron, et.al.

  • A Study on the Philippine Government's Attitude Towards The
    A Study on the Philippine Government’s Attitude towards the LGBT Community In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Political Science Submitted by Rienjel Mae T. Tolentino IV - BA Political Science 2015-11203 Submitted to Professor Doroteo C. Abaya, Jr. Thesis Adviser May 2019 According to the Philippine Psychological Association (2013), Filipino LGBT people continue to experience stigma, prejudice, and discrimination in the Philippine society. This stigma is manifested in actions: such as bullying, teasing, and harassment of LGBT children, and adolescents in families, schools and communities. In addition, LGBT people are more likely to experience intolerance, discrimination, harassment and the threat of violence due to their sexual orientation. Although LGBT people are socially celebrated, they are not politically recognized.
