Description: Capital, Coercion, and Crime : Bossism in the Philippines, Hardcover by Sidel, John Thayer, ISBN 0804737452, ISBN-13 9780804737456, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book considers local bossism, a political phenomenon where local power brokers achieve monopolistic control over an area's coercive and economic resources. Sidel (South East Asia politics, University of London) argues that the roots of bossism in the Philippines lie in the inauguration of formal democratic institutions at an early stage of capitalist development; the state's central role in capital accumulation provides the basis for local economic empires and political machines. Th elaborates this argument with studies of two Philippine provinces, Cavite and Cebu. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
