Since the mid-2000s, the quality of democracy around the world has
been in decline, and Southeast Asia is no exception. This Element
analyzes the extent, patterns and drivers of democratic
deconsolidation in the three Southeast Asian countries that boast
the longest history of electoral democracy in the region:
Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. While the exact
deconsolidation outcomes differ, all three nations have witnessed
similar trends of democratic erosion. In each case, long-standing
democratic deficiencies (such as clientelism, politicized security
forces and non-democratic enclaves) have persisted; rising wealth
inequality has triggered political oligarchization and subsequent
populist responses embedded in identity politics; and ambitious
middle classes have opted for non-democratic alternatives to
safeguard their material advancement. As a result, all three
polities have descended from their democratic peaks between the
late 1980s and early 2000s, with few signs pointing to a return to
previous democratization paths.
