The details are as follows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Title:<\/strong> Can the Philippines\u2019 Wild Oligarchy Be Tamed?<br \/>\n<strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Dr. Nathan Gilbert Quimpo, Associate Professor in political<br \/>\nscience and international relations, University of Tsukuba<br \/>\n<strong>Date:<\/strong> June 16 (Mon.), 12.00-13.30, 2014<br \/>\n<strong>Place:<\/strong> Tonan tei (Room No. 201), Inamori Foundation Memorial Building, Kyoto University<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nAbstract:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis chapter examines how the dominance of the oligarchic elite has<br \/>\naffected the quality of the Philippines\u2019 post-Marcos democracy and what<br \/>\nthe prospects are for the \u2018wild oligarchy\u2019 to be tamed. It is argued<br \/>\nthat the oligarchic elite, through their use of material power, public<br \/>\noffice and coercive power, have brought about poor-quality democracy<br \/>\n(particularly weak in rule of law and accountability) and recurring<br \/>\ninstability. Reform efforts by President Benigno Aquino III are far from<br \/>\nsufficient in restraining the oligarchic elite from pathological<br \/>\nexcesses, and can still be reversed under a new government headed by a<br \/>\ntraditional politician-oligarch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the speaker:<\/strong><br \/>\nNathan Gilbert Quimpo teaches political science and international<br \/>\nrelations at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. He is the author of<br \/>\nContested Democracy in the Philippines after Marcos (Yale University<br \/>\nSoutheast Asia Studies, 2008) and the co-author of Subversive Lives: A<br \/>\nFamily Memoir of the Marcos Years (Anvil Press, 2012). His research<br \/>\ninterests include democracy and democratic governance, conflict and<br \/>\npeace, political corruption, and security studies. He has also taught at<br \/>\nthe University of the Philippines, University of Amsterdam and Sophia<br \/>\nUniversity (Tokyo).<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nModerator:<\/strong> Yasuyuki KONO and Lisandro Elias CLAUDIO,<br \/>\nCSEAS, Kyoto University<\/p>\n<p>This Tonan Talk is supported by &#8220;Southeast Asian Studies for Sustainable Humanosphere&#8221; Research Program, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), Kyoto University<br \/>\n&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/mapsengine.google.com\/map\/embed?mid=zGDVAb74Y1SE.kNO8Ye9-Zcvo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" height=\"350\" width=\"730\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<small><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-align: left;\" href=\"http:\/\/mapsengine.google.com\/map\/embed?mid=zGDVAb74Y1SE.kNO8Ye9-Zcvo\" target=\"_blank\">\u5927\u304d\u306a\u5730\u56f3\u3067\u898b\u308b<\/a><\/small><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"20140616","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2014-06-16 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2014","month":"06","day":"16","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2014-06-16 13:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2014","month":"06","day":"16","hour":"13","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":null,"utc_start_date_details":{"year":"1970","month":"01","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":null,"utc_end_date_details":{"year":"1970","month":"01","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"\u6771\u5357\u30c8\u30fc\u30af","slug":"%e6%9d%b1%e5%8d%97%e3%83%88%e3%83%bc%e3%82%af","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":120,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":31,"filter":"raw","id":120,"urls":{"self":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/120","collection":"http:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/www\/2016\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"CSEAS Tonan Talk, a Brown Bag lecture series\uff1aCan the Philippines\u2019 Wild Oligarchy Be Tamed?","description":"&lt;p&gt;You are cordially invited to a CSEAS Tonan Talk, a Brown Bag lecture series.
