  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Achieving Governance Reforms Under Pressure to Demonstrate Results: Dilemma Or New Beginning
    Achieving governance reforMS under pressure to deMonstrate results: DileMMA or new beginning? Achieving governance reforms under pressure to demonstrate results: Dilemma or new beginning? David Booth Introduction Organisations affiliated with the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) are under increasing pressure to justify their budgets by showing results of a demonstrable and preferably measurable kind. Not infrequently, this is understood as an obligation to support programmes that produce predefined outputs on a predictable basis within planning cycles that are as short as three to five years. Annual and mid-term reviews give programmes good, bad or indifferent scores depending on whether they are “on track” in terms of a logical framework or equivalent planning tool that is supposed to ensure a positive contribution to development outcomes. In some agencies, there is also an assessment of whether they continue to deliver “value for money”, understood as maximum impact for minimum expenditure. These requirements are taken to apply not just to social and economic programmes but also to the 16% of official development assistance classified as support to governance reform in the DAC database. However, for those responsible for designing and delivering programmes to influence governance, the rigidity of the standard performance pressures poses a problem. Governance programmes are expected to contribute to changes in institutions, or in patterns of behaviour within and among organisations. Such changes are generally recognised to be the result of long-term processes, subject to considerable uncertainty and not easy to measure in the short and medium terms. Therefore, even when they show reasonable promise, governance interventions seem destined to perform poorly according to the prevailing criteria.

  • Feminine Power and Catholic Appropriation in the Early Spanish Philippines
    ‘SHE SERVES THE LORD’ FEMININE POWER AND CATHOLIC APPROPRIATION IN THE EARLY SPANISH PHILIPPINES A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY MAY 2018 By Steven James Fluckiger Thesis Committee: Vina A. Lanzona, Chairperson Barbara Watson Andaya Fabio López Lázaro ABSTRACT This study examines sixteenth and seventeenth century Catholic missionaries in the Philippine Islands appropriating feminine power and social power wielded by indigenous feminine figures to expand Catholic influence and authority. During initial contact, missionaries encountered an island chain dominated by indigenous animism that was headed by the maganito, the animist leaders who were typically female. To supplant this, they used indigenous women and the bayog, maganitos who were assigned the male sex at birth but took on a feminine persona, to act as a spiritual leader and appropriated their social and feminine power to build up the Catholic church and to diminish the influence of animist traditions. The study looks at the role these feminine figures, women and the bayog, played in the Christianization process and the influence they had in their communities. The powers these feminine figures wielded included their status as spiritual figures in their societies, their ability to own and control wealth, their role as owners of slaves, their leverage in marital and sexual relationships, and their influence as upper-class members of society. Through these figures, missionaries converted many indigenous people and encouraged them to remain loyal to the Catholic faith and the Church.

Johnson jihads and crusades continue to cost the lives of millions and destroy once-beautiful cities?

  • Derailing Development:China's Railway Projects and Financing Coalitions in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines
    Global Development Policy Center GCI WORKING PAPER 008 • 01/2020 GLOBAL CHINA INITIATIVE Derailing Development: China’s Railway Projects and Financing Coalitions in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines ALVIN CAMBA Introduction Why do major development projects get delayed while others progress? Where do these projects encounter opposition? This paper examines the sources and nature of delays in major development projects. While literatures on development financing are substantive, scholars continue to treat project completion or cancellation as a byproduct of weak institutions (Dueñas-Osorio & Vemuru 2009), Alvin Camba is a PhD lack of technical capacity (Pinto & Mantel 1990, Diallo & Thuillier, 2004), or the financing institution’s candidate in Sociology at decision to withdraw (Mashatt et al. 2008).1 However, when these concerns are insignificant or already Johns Hopkins University, accounted for, what factors enable—or inhibit—project progression? As the World Bank researchers a non-resident fellow at the found (Legovini et. al 2015), financiers – foreign banks, firms, or international organizations – spend Stratbase-ADR Institute, and a millions to compensate for delays in major projects, leading to significant political and economic predoctoral fellow at the Global costs. In order to better explain project outcomes, I examine three comparable cases of Chinese Development Policy Center at railway projects in Southeast Asia. Specifically, I investigate the Bicol South Rail Project (BSRP) in the Boston University. He bridges the Philippines (2016-), High-speed rail (HSR) in Indonesia (2014-), and the East Coast Railway in Malaysia study of international political (2016-). I ask, what have been the sources of delays in the major Chinese railway projects and what economy, political sociology, has allowed them to progress despite these issues? Where and when have Chinese railway projects and development.
