Beschreibung:
Philippine political history challenges the image of democratic evolution as serving the people, and does so in ways that reveal inadequately explored aspects of many democracies. This book provides an interpretive overview of Philippine politics, and takes full account of the importance of patriotic Philippine factors in making decisions about future political policies. It analyses whether regional and local politics have more importance than national politics in the Philippines. The book goes on to explore elections in the Philippines, and in particular the ways in which politicians win democratic elections, the institutionalised role of public money in this process, and the role that media plays.
