Description
This book offers a fresh interpretation of political change by examining the role of the State as a catalyst of socioeconomic and political transformation. It traces the process leading to the development of an interventionist State in the Philippines and its contribution to the breakdown of democracy and the declaration of martial law in 1972. The book also describes the interaction of social forces created by economic transformation and their clashes of interests, as well as the implications of class conflict for the democratic system. It discusses the concept of strong executive leadership and weak states, providing insights into the problems of restored democracies that are struggling to survive economic crises and military revolts.
