The Ethnopolitics Of Moro Self-Determination In The Philippines: So Little, Too Late?, Rizal G. Buendia Dec 2012

The Ethnopolitics Of Moro Self-Determination In The Philippines: So Little, Too Late?, Rizal G. Buendia

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The paper re-examines the Moro secessionist movement in the Philippines from the perspective of ethno-politics. Using a hybrid framework, which combines Paul Brass’ and Abner Cohen’s instrumentalist approach to ethnicity on the one hand and Michael Hechter’s and Michael Banton’s rational choice theory on the other hand, the paper argues that the complexity of the current separatist war is not simply due to the weakness of the state but also due to the weakness of the Bangsamoro identity and notion of nationhood. This frailty allows the state to co-opt leaders of the movement and sabotage their legitimate quest for self-governance …

Socio-Economic Impacts, Social Inclusion, And Science-Policy Interphase: The Case Of Rice Biotechnology In The Philippines, Antonio P. Contreras Dec 2012

Socio-Economic Impacts, Social Inclusion, And Science-Policy Interphase: The Case Of Rice Biotechnology In The Philippines, Antonio P. Contreras

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The paper argues that the development of biotechnology policies in the Philippines vis-à-vis rice is enabled by structures and processes that are friendly to the furtherance of social inclusion and equity goals. This occurs in the context of attaining rice self-sufficiency amidst a globalized system and is clearly expressed in the relative density of concepts and provisions related to participation, inclusivity, and transparency in all the relevant policy instruments. However, spaces that are opened are vulnerable to a political system that has deep-seated structural flaws and a science community whose financial support from the state is limited and at the …

Bangladesh And The Role Of Private Sector: Addressing Digital Divides, Maria Divina Gracia Z. Roldan, Beathe Due

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Access to information and communication technologies (ICT) is seen as a key tool to provide economic growth both in developed and developing countries. Despite public and private ICT initiatives to increase ICT access and usage at a grassroots level, there is still a large digital divide (Norris 2003, Mazzarella 2010). Marginalized sectors in Asia, such as the rural folk, women, and low-income youth, remain unreached by the benefits which ICT is supposed to offer. In this paper, three approaches in Bangladesh to decrease the digital divide are analyzed: Grameenphone’s establishment of Community Information Centers (CICs), Grameenphone’s Village Phone program, and …

China’S One-Child Policy And Implementation, Xiaofei Li Dec 2012

China’S One-Child Policy And Implementation, Xiaofei Li

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Though China had been plagued by famines since ancient times, it was not until the Great Chinese Famine in the late 1950s and early 1960s that the state became proactive against future famines. In 1979, under the conviction that overpopulation was threatening China’s existence, Deng Xiaoping implemented the “one-child policy,” a coercive population control (CPC) measure intended to reduce the country’s fertility rate. However, because of the harsh nature of CPC, the disparate gender ratio that has developed, the imminent aging of China’s population, and a number of other critical enforcement concerns, CPC has proven to be far from an …

Marriage Immigration And Gender In South Korea: Accounting For Gender Disparities In International Marriages, Junmo Kim, Seung-Bum Yang, Ador Revelar Torneo

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Recent studies on immigration in East Asia are focusing on female marriage immigration, the migration of large numbers of women from developing countries to marry men from industrialized countries like South Korea. Typically lost in the discourse however, are international marriages involving foreign grooms, once the more dominant trend in South Korea before the mid-1990s. This article explains how trends in international marriages in South Korea reversed in the mid- 1990s and how marriages involving the two genders differ in their drivers and characteristics. Both phenomena are examined in the context of neo-classical economics and push-pull theories of migration, hypergamy, …

Perceived Discrimination In Ancestral Homeland: Filipino Nikkeijins And The Dynamics Of Migrant Resistance, Ron Bridget Vilog Dec 2012

Perceived Discrimination In Ancestral Homeland: Filipino Nikkeijins And The Dynamics Of Migrant Resistance, Ron Bridget Vilog

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The Immigration Control Act of 1990 formally allowed the nikkeijins or descendants of Japanese nationals who were born in foreign countries to enter Japan and work without restriction. Following the rapid migration of Latin American nikkeis, thousands of Filipino nikkeijins had taken advantage of their “ethnic right” by working in Japanese factories. In spite of the privileges bestowed upon them, issues about discrimination, prejudice, and even exploitation had been reported in various fora. This paper examines the reconfiguration of ethnic self-identification as Filipino nikkeijins face social discrimination in Japan. The narratives of second and third generation Filipino nikkeijins reveal that …
