<br/><br/> Papers derived from a conference with the same title as this book organised by ISEAS and held in Singapore 13-14 July 2006. Contributors represent expertise in wide range of fields. Papers cover politics, the roles of the military and religion, the Philippine press, economics, the persistence of high rates of poverty, the phenomenon of Filipinos working overseas and the importance of their remittances, development in the Philippines, the Islamic separatist movements in Mindanao, and the long running Maoist insurgency mainly located in Luzon. A concluding chapter by Rodolfo Severino tries to pull together and synthesis the other contributions.
