A Critical Analysis of Social Movements in the Philippines (original) (raw)

Abstract

The changed political milieu in the Philippines after the downfall of the Marcos regime in 1986 generated greater interest among academics and movement participants to scrutinize the concepts of state and civil society; the dynamics of state and civil society relations and of intra-civil society relations; and more recently, globalization as a process that shapes these relationships. The nature of battles and rebellions in Philippine history ranged from personal, religious, economic, and civic to political motives. The major threat to democracy and economic development in the Philippines continues to be the inability to bridge the gap between formal political rights and social equity. The political and socioeconomic costs of poverty and inequality are the main corrosive elements to freedom and liberty in the country.
