Description: Capital, Coercion, and Crime by John T. Sidel Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Provincial warlords and political clans in the Philippines - like the Mafia or Russian gangster politicians - are a case of bossism, explored here through case studies of two Philippine provinces. A comparative historical analysis of bossism for scholars of Southeast Asia and students of comparative politics. Publisher Description This text focuses on local bossism, a common political phenomenon where local power brokers achieve monopolistic control over an area s coercive and economic resources. Examples of bossism include Old Corruption in eighteenth-century England, urban political machines in the United States, caciques in Latin America, the Mafia in Southern Italy, and today s gangster politicians in such countries as India, Russia, and Thailand. For many years, the entrenchment of numerous provincial warlords and political clans has made the Philippines a striking case of local bossism. Yet writings on Filipino political culture and patron-client relations have ignored the role of coercion in shaping electoral competition and social relations. Portrayals of a weak state captured by a landed oligarchy have similarly neglected the enduring institutional legacies of American colonial rule and the importance of state resources for the accumulation of wealth and power in the Philippines.
