Beschreibung:
John T. Sidel is Lecturer in South East Asia Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
"This book is certainly a contribution to the literature on Philippine politics, comparative politics, and state-society relations. It builds on, while going significantly beyond, what other scholars have done and lays out a reasoned argument that future scholarship will have to engage about how public offices are won and lost and for whose benefit."--The Journal of Asian Studies"...Sidel has written a superb and pioneering analysis that defines the future course for studies of local elites--not only in the Philippines but elsewhere as well."--Paul D. Hutchcroft, University of Wisconsin, Madison
