Regime change tends to occur in waves, from authoritarian transitions in the 1930s to democratic transitions in the late 1980s and 1990s to the rise of authoritarianism again today. To help answer this increasingly urgent question, the author examines a series of regime transitions in the Philippines over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructural inequality is identified as a root cause of civil conflict, which can lead to proxy wars as transnational revolutionary, authoritarian, and democratic forces vie for control of the state. The book traces the battle for control of the Philippines back to the Spanish era through the US era and beyond, presenting a historical, transnational picture of regime change through time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Contested State offers insights into the broader transnational issues threatening democracy today, highlighting the need for international cooperation and action to address these challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 608g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157 x 236 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666922226\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Second Edition, New Edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amy Blitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47482039730426,"sku":"9781666922226","price":91.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751636926742_book.jpg?v=1751755028","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-contested-state-transnational-battles-for-control-of-the-philippines-since-1898-9781666922226","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
