The Duterte administration is often considered a rupture in
Philippines' politics. But how different is Duterte's programme of
change from the past governments, particularly from its
predecessor, the Aquino II administration? Is there a shift in
regime orientation and policy preferences from Aquino II to
Duterte? What will this mean to the future direction of Philippine
democracy, its economic development, peace and security, and
relations with other countries? This volume focuses on four
critical areas - politics and governance, economic governance, the
Mindanao peace process, and international relations - to illustrate
continuities or discontinuities in the policies and governance of
institutions, and to explain the dynamics of change in the
Philippines. It pays particular attention to the crucial period
between Aquino II and the early years of Duterte. The reason is
that Aquino II represents an important period for rebuilding and
consolidating institutions of governance and accountability after
two previous tumultuous administrations. Yet Aquino II also
demonstrates the inherent flaws of Philippine democracy and
unravels the contradictory forces vying for state power that sets
the scene for Duterte's rise. Reflecting on the crucial transition
period between the two presidencies, while also providing a
much-needed update on the most noteworthy policy changes since
Duterte's inauguration, the book fills an important scholarly gap
in understanding Asia's oldest and most puzzling democracy.
An interdisciplinary work that comparatively studies rule of law
practices and the relationship between the rule of law and regional
integration, a topic largely explored in European integration. By
looking at the function of the rule of law in ASEAN rather than
what it 'means' measured on normative conception, the book situates
the rule of law in broader institutional and political processes in
the member states and in regional relations to show the motivations
of member states in adopting a peculiar type of regional
architecture. It asks whether forging the rule of law in the region
can help build it internally for member states. The book revisits
discourses on the 'spill-over' of economic integration, the impact
of globalization in reshaping the state and generating new tools of
the rule of law. It makes a comprehensive comparison - the European
Union, Africa Union and MERCOSUR - showing the uneven pathways to
rule of law in various contexts.
