- B.A. in History, University of the Philippines, 1978
Ph. D. in Government, Cornell University, 1997
Current Research Interests
- Middle class and elite violence in the Philippines
- Mapping of armed zones in the southern Philippines
- Epidemics as a non-traditional security issue in Southeast and East Asia
I continue my research on middle class and elite violence in the Philippines
even as I start research in two new areas: mapping the armed zones in the
southern Philippines using advances in GIS technology combined with traditional
maps; and epidemics, especially those caused by rodents, as a non-traditional
security issue in Southeast and East Asia. The first of these will hopefully
provide scholars, policy analysts, and peace groups a sense of what is
in store for communities in these areas when peace is signed between the
Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Philippine government. The second
will apply existing medical, ecological, and agricultural approaches to
studying rodents with public health and politics.
