Philippine observers are often baffled by the economic and
political turmoil that dominates headlines about the country. Yet,
at the same time, the Philippines continues to hold the potential
for successfully combining political freedoms with sustained
economic growth and, thus, improving the lives of its people. In
this book, a team of distinguished scholars examines these
seemingly contradictory trends in order to gain a sense of the
country's prospects. Reassessing the fascinating and puzzling
"Philippines conundrum" from various angles, the analyses
contribute sharp and fresh insights into a variety of areas
including: the presidency and political parties; constitutional
change and federalism; the roles of the military, religion, and the
media in politics; the conflict in Mindanao; the communist
insurgency; macroeconomic developments, issues, and trends; the
investment climate and business opportunities; poverty,
unemployment, and income inequality; migration and remittances; and
the Philippine development record in comparative perspective. While
the analyses offered in this volume do not arrive at a consensus,
they provide a deeper perspective and a more balanced appreciation
of events in the country and a glimpse of the prospects and
challenges that it faces.
