The 1986 "people power" revolution that ousted Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and installed the gentle democrat Corazon Aquino is a story of archetypal appeal which has attracted international media attention. David Wurfel deepens our understanding of the development of democracy in the Philippines, offering the most comprehensive account of Filipino politics from 1945 to the present available in any language. Filipino Politics provides both a detailed history of the cycles of strengthening and decay of Filipino institutions and an up-to-date analysis of conditions that continue to threaten the creation of a stable popular government.
A rich source of previously inaccessible information, Filipino Politics will be welcomed by political scientists, historians of the Philippines and of Southeast Asia, and by policy makers, journalists, and others concerned with the ongoing political crisis in the Philippines.

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
