        A Duterte Reader

        Critical Essays on Rodrigo Duterte's Early Presidency

        by Nicole Curato

        This book offers timely, incisive, and well-grounded analyses of the rise of Rodrigo Duterte from child of a crisis-prone postcolony wracked by intense intra-elite electoral competition, revolutionary challenges from various sectors of society, and authoritarian rule and top-down developmentalism to long-time mayor of Davao and first Mindanaoan president of the Philippines. —Caroline Hau, author of Elites and Ilustrados in Philippine Culture

        The Philippines

        A Country Portrait

        by Hilja Müller

        The Philippines are an archipelago of more than 7000 islands. The population of 106 Million people grows rapidly and communicates in 180 languages and dialects. Its strategic location and rich natural resources made it a target for colonial powers. For more than 300 years the Spanish ruled here, followed by the Americans. Therefore, the Philippines are the only country in Southeast Asia with a predominantly Catholic population, many people have Spanish names, the education system and cuisine are strongly influenced by the Americans. In the media we often read about the murderous war against drugs by president Duterte or of terrible natural disasters hitting the island nation. Hilja Müller describes the country and its people, their culture, history and politics, well-informed and empathic.

        Of Love and Other Lemons

        by Katrina Stuart Santiago

        Of Love and Other Lemons is a collection that plays with the form of the personal essay, turning it on its head, insisting on the we versus the i, the distant versus the familiar, even as it can only be about the persona/l. As such it is honest but impersonal, particularly of one but speaking of (if not for) the other, creative nonfiction premised on what remains fictional for women on this side of the third world. Here are, and ultimately, essays about being raised a girl in Manila, feminist in the academe, woman struggling with/in the silences and noise of nation everyday.

        New Asian Disorder

        Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century

        by Edited by Lowell Dittmer

        In New Asian Disorder: Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century, Lowell Dittmer and his team explore the recent political disorder in East Asia resulting from growing Sino-American polarization. The rise of China in recent years is widely regarded as a momentous shift in the global balance of power. China is now extending sovereignty into the East China Sea and the South China Sea, constructing a new set of global financial institutions and replacing “universal values” with technologically enhanced nationalism. The country’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is also tainted by the vast ambition to realize the “China Dream” within the foreseeable future. In response to China’s challenge, the United States has abandoned its “constructive engagement” policy towards the rising power and engaged in a trade war. Sino-American relations have been at a historical trough since the normalization of their relationship in the late 1970s. This book sheds new light on the current political disorder in the East Asian international arena. The new Asian disorder is analyzed from three perspectives: the first focuses on identity, the second on political economy, and the third on the triangular dynamic. This collection of essays concludes that, unless and until consensus can be reached on a coherent new framework for cooperation and rule enforcement among different stakeholders in East Asia, the current disorder may be expected to persist.
