Product Description
Vince Boudreau compares strategies of repression and protest in post-war Burma, Indonesia and the Philippines because these alternative strategies shaped the social bases and opposition cultures available to dissidents and, in turn, influenced their effectiveness. He includes first-hand research as well as the the social movements' literature to consider the interactions between the regimes in the wake of repression, and the subsequent emergence of democracy. Boudreau offers a genuinely comparative study of dictatorship and resistance in South East Asia.
Book Description
Vince Boudreau's book compares strategies of repression and protest in post-war Burma, Indonesia and the Philippines. These alternative strategies shaped the social bases and opposition cultures available to dissidents, and in turn influenced their effectiveness. The author balances first-hand research with the social movements literature to consider the interactions between the regimes and their societies in the wake of repression, and with the subsequent emergence of democracy. This is a thought-provoking book, which offers a genuinely comparative study of dictatorship and resistance in South East Asia.
