The peasant movement and the challenge of rural democratisation in the Philippines
分析了菲律宾农民运动如何通过建立代表制政治机构推动农村民主化，指出主要动力来自公民社会而非国家，并探讨了农民运动在威权体制下的联盟建设努力。
Analysis of peasant movement efforts to build representative political institutions demonstrates that the major impetus for rural democratisation has come from civil society rather than the state. The authoritarian political and economic institutions which have historically dominated the countryside remain entrenched in the Philippines, preventing the state from responding to increasingly well‐organised and broad‐based peasant demands, most notably for land reform. The peasant movement has responded to the post‐Marcos ‘blocked transition’ with a range of alliance‐building efforts both inside and outside the formal political system.
