Inequality, Democracy and Development under Neoliberalism and Beyond 7 Introduction This book is the collection of articles by young researchers from Latin America, Africa and Asia who were laureates of the South-South Institute held in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2014. The primary objective of the South-South Institute is to offer advanced research training opportunities to the younger scholars on the diverse problems and challenges faced by the countries of the South, and the theoretical and methodological perspectives that might be appropriate for gaining a full understanding of the specific situation of the countries and peoples located outside the core of the international system such as it is presently structured. The main premise of this effort is the glaring inadequacy of much of the theories and methodologies developed in the North, as crystallised in the mainstream social sciences, to provide the required instruments for a sound understanding of the problems confronting the countries of the South. The Institute mobilises young scholars from across the three continents, involving them in discussion, critiques and adaptations of existing theories and the generation of alternative approaches. The theme of the seventh South-South institute, “Inequality, Development and Democracy and Beyond” is of immense significance for the countries of the global South. Decades of experience of following neoliberal economic policies in various countries across the globe have provided ample evidence that we now live in a more unjust world than before. The withdrawal of the state has led to the emergence of powerful private entities and increased the power for global finance and transnational companies that are guided only by the motive of profit with no social compulsions, and are not even democratically accountable for their actions. This has been associated with significant increases in inequality in most countries and regions. The decentralisation of power and authority has been curbed severely, making nonsense of the rhetoric of democracy typically advanced by neoliberal ideologues. Nor has neoliberalism succeeded in delivering higher growth of putput and employment. As evidenced by the Great recession and the still ongoing financial crisis, the rise of neoliberalism has increased economic instability with grave welfare consequences. Not surprisingly, for more than a decade now many countries, especially in Latin America, have gone “beyond” neoliberalism, experimenting with alternative policy regimes. The experiment is still on, but already many positive results are visible. The Inequality, Democracy and Development under Neoliberalism and Beyond 8 Introduction developing countries of Latin America, Africa and Asia faced unique challenges, which led to each adopting different policy mixes for development in different phases of their post-War history. The homogenised policy framework imposed on these countries under the neoliberal agenda is now proven to be ill suited to address these country specific

    “What’s the latest?” Page 1 of 3 Column for Philippine Daily Inquirer PDI 09-02, 1-09-08 [for publication on 1-10-2008] “What’s the latest?” Mahar Mangahas Right after greeting me Happy New Year, the most common next question of friends and acquaintances is “What’s the latest?” referring, most of all, to prospects for the next national election in 2010, according to the SWS surveys. I tell them that the survey leaders are a cluster of three, namely Noli de Castro, Manny Villar, and Loren Legarda, and then refer them to the SWS website, since I can’t remember so many numbers, all the more as another year passes by. Anyway, for the nth time, last November 7th SWS reported the finding of its September 2008 survey that the top answers to the question on persons who would be good (magaling) successors of Pres. Arroyo as President, with up to three names accepted, were – with percentages in parentheses -- de Castro (29), Villar (28), Legarda (26), Panfilo Lacson (17), Francis Escudero (16), Joseph Estrada (13), and Mar Roxas (13). All others, including Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Bayani Fernando, Antonio Trillanes et al., got one percent or less. In short, the aspirants cluster into three groups: the top three, then a group of four at least 9 points away, and then everyone else. To be fair to all possible aspirants, no list of names was provided to prompt the respondents. As a result, we discover that some Filipinos favor the return of GMA or Erap in 2010, and some favor Trillanes, though he would not yet be 40 years old by then.

  • Las Elecciones Presidenciales Filipinas De 2010: Entre La Inercia Y La Esperanza De Cambio
    Área: Asia-Pacífico ARI 83/2010 Fecha: 06/05/2010 Las elecciones presidenciales filipinas de 2010: entre la inercia y la esperanza de cambio Roberto Blanco Andrés * Tema: as elecciones generales de mayo de 2010 traerán un nuevo presidente después del largo mandato de Gloria Macapal-Arroyo. El futuro mandatario deberá hacer frente a los grandes desafíos en el bajo nivel de gobernanza y las deficiencias en el desarrollo. Resumen: En mayo de 2010, tras casi una década de gobierno, terminará la era Macapagal-Arroyo. Los sondeos presidenciales dan el primer puesto al liberal “Noynoy” Aquino, beneficiado por la gran popularidad de sus padres, seguido del nacionalista Villar, continuando a mayor distancia el populista Estrada, condenado hace pocos años por cargos de corrupción, y el oficialista Gilberto Teodoro. El desarrollo de la campaña ha puesto en evidencia el poco peso de los partidos políticos frente a las personalidades que concurren en los comicios. A pesar de que las votaciones serán las primeras automatizadas en la historia, siguen persistiendo la violencia política y la amenaza de irregularidades. Los candidatos han centrado su discurso en la solución de la corrupción y la pobreza como principales lacras del país. Análisis: El próximo lunes 10 de mayo de 2010 tendrán lugar en Filipinas elecciones generales, de carácter presidencial, legislativo y local. En ellas se votará para los cargos de presidente, vicepresidente, del Congreso (Casa de Representantes y mitad de los asientos del Senado), para los puestos provinciales (gobernadores, vicegobernadores alcaldes, y consejos de provincia) y de los gobiernos locales (alcaldes, vicealcaldes y consejeros de las ciudades).

Although populism is not new to the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte; elections; Duterte exhibits features of contemporary populism that are befit- democracy ting of an age of communicative abundance. This commentary contrasts Duterte’s political style with other presidential conten- ders, characterises his relationship with the electorate and con- cludes by mapping populism’s democratic and anti-democratic tendencies, which may define the quality of democratic practice in the Philippines in the next six years. The first six months of 2016 were critical moments for Philippine democracy. In February, the nation commemorated the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution – a series of peaceful mass demonstrations that ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III – the son of the president who replaced the dictator – led the commemoration. He asked Filipinos to remember the atrocities of the authoritarian regime and the gains of democracy restored by his mother. He reminded the country of the torture, murder and disappearance of scores of activists whose families still await compensation from the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board.

  • INFANT MORTALITY in NUAULU and NON-NUAULU COMMUNITIES in MALUKU TENGAH: Social Exclusion and Ethnicity in Indonesia1
    INFANT MORTALITY IN NUAULU AND NON-NUAULU COMMUNITIES IN MALUKU TENGAH: Social Exclusion And Ethnicity In Indonesia1 By: Lusia Peilouw* Abstrak Nuaulu adalah salah satu komunitas adat di Maluku. Secara geografis komunitas ini tidak terisolasi seperti yang diasumsikan secara umum bahwa masyarakat adat biasanya hidup terisolasi di daerah terpencil. Mereka tinggal hanya beberapa kilometer dari ibukota kabupaten Maluku Tengah, di antara desa-desa yangjauh lebih berkembang. Sebuah penelitian demografis menggunakan kematian bayi dirancang untuk menerangkan fenomena sosial pada komunitas Nuaulu dan bukan Nuaulu. Ditemukan bahwa kematian bayi pada Nuaulu di Rouhua lebih tinggi dari pada bukan Nuaulu di Makariki. Faktor-faktor sosial yaitu pendidikan dan kesehatan dan ekonomi keluarga merupakan faktor determinan yang saling mempengaruhi satu dengan lainnya, sebagaimana dianalisa dengan menggunakan Mosley and Chen framework (1984). Secara laitis studi ini menemukan bahwa praktek-praktek budaya yang masih dipelihara oleh komunitas Nuaulu tidak akan menjadi masalah apabila kebutuhan sosiallain dan kebutuhan ekonomi terfasilitasi. Political will dan kepedulian pemerintahlah yang menjadi masalah dalam konteks ini. Mengabaikan komunitas adat dalam kebijakan pembangunan sosial menyebabkan masyarakat dalam komunitas ini rentan. Komunitas Nuaulu eli Rouhua hanyalah satu dari sekian banyak komunitas adat di negeri ini, dan terletak di daerah yang mudah dijangkau namun selama ini mereka hidup dalam keprihatinan dan kerentanan yang luar biasa. Bagaimana lebih buruknya kondisi komunitas-komunitas adat yang memang secara geografis tidak mudah dijangkau. Nuaulu is a tribal community in Maluku. Geographically this community is not isolated as is commonly assumed tribal communities living in remote areas are. Located among non-tribal communities, it is only a few kilometres from the centre of the Maluku Tengah District.

  • Permulaan Baik Buat BN (HL) (Berita Harian 14/03/2004)
    14/03/2004 Permulaan baik buat BN (HL) KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) mendahului 21 kerusi dalam pilihan raya umum ke-11 apabila menang tanpa bertanding bagi 14 kerusi Parlimen dan tujuh Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) pada hari penamaan calon semalam. Ini adalah jumlah kedua tertinggi BN menang tanpa bertanding dalam sejarah pilihan raya umum sejak 1955.

Antara calon BN yang menang semalam ialah Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, yang kini memasuki penggal kesembilannya, bagi kerusi Parlimen Kota Samarahan dan Ketua Puteri Umno, Datuk Azalina Othman Said yang baru pertama kali menjadi calon, di Pengerang, Johor. Pengerusi BN, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, menyifatkan perkembangan itu sebagai isyarat awal untuk BN mencatat kejayaan besar pada pilihan raya umum Ahad depan tetapi menegaskan, jentera parti perlu terus meningkatkan usaha memastikan kemenangan. "Alhamdulillah dan tahniah kepada yang menang," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Pejabat Umno Bahagian Kepala Batas selepas proses penamaan calon di Dewan Millenium, Kepala Batas. Ini adalah pilihan raya umum pertama Abdullah mengetuai BN sejak dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri 31 Oktober lalu, mengambil alih daripada Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Pada pilihan raya umum lalu, BN menang dua kerusi tanpa bertanding, iaitu satu kerusi Parlimen di Sarawak dan satu DUN di Johor. Sebelas daripada 21 kerusi BN yang dimenangi tanpa bertanding semalam adalah di Sabah, iaitu tujuh kerusi Parlimen dan empat DUN; enam kerusi Parlimen di Sarawak; dua di Johor, iaitu satu Parlimen dan satu DUN serta masing-masing satu DUN di Perak dan Selangor.
