The Contested State: American Foreign Policy and Regime Change in the Philippines

From a scholar’s first hand account of the fall of Marcos comes this book, an inquiry into the international causes and consequences of civil war, the different types of regimes that emerge from such conflict, and the implications for American foreign policy. Tracing the battle for control of the Philippines back to the Spanish era, this book resents a historical, transnational picture of regime change, offering insights into the broader transnational issues that are increasingly important in an ever more globalised world.
