From the author's first-hand account of the battle for democracy in
the Philippines comes The Contested State, an inquiry into the
international causes and consequences of regime change. Regime
change tends to occur in waves, from the authoritarian transitions
of the 1930s, to the democratic transitions of the late 1980s and
1990s, to the rise of authoritarianism again today. But why? To
help answer this increasingly urgent question, the author examines
a series of regime transitions in the Philippines over time. The
book identifies structural inequality as a root cause of civil
conflict, which can in turn lead to proxy wars, as transnational
revolutionary, authoritarian, and democratic forces vie for control
of the state. Tracing the battle for control of the Philippines
back to the Spanish era through the US era and beyond, The
Contested State presents a historical, transnational picture of
regime change through time, offering insights into the broader
transnational issues threatening democracy today.
