SUMMARY:Politics in the Age of Duterte
LOCATION:Fritz-Reuter-Saal
DESCRIPTION:Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency has brought a sea change to Philip
 pine politics. Scholars have also had to take a notably different tack in t
 heir analyses, leaving in their wake traditional paradigms of clientelism, 
 bossism, and imperialism. Duterte won the presidency with limited political
  machinery with a campaign narrative that targeted not only drug dealers an
 d users but also elite politics more generally. His pro-China, anti-U.S. st
 ance makes it rather implausible to categorize him as a typical U.S. “lapdo
 g”. Even his bossist style is different from old-style strongman rule as hi
 s primary focus has been on the criminal “other” rather than his political 
 rivals. This has led the emergence of what can be termed “Duterte studies” 
 with new research foci: the nature and appeal of his violent, illiberal “pe
 nal populism” and his “social banditry morality”; the precise nature of the
  drug war, police vigilantism and “murder as enterprise”; the “weaponizatio
 n of social media” and trolling; Duterte’s misygonist and violent humor whi
 ch has a deadly seriousness to it and more generally Duterte’s style of dis
 course with its “backstage” authenticity; continuity in neo-liberal economi
 c and social policy despite Duterte’s claim to be a socialist; the shift of
  the communist left from “frenemies” to Duterte’s most militant opponents, 
 the apparent breakthrough in Bangsamoro autonomy, a move toward “dynastic f
 ederalism”, Duterte’s “resurgent” anti-imperialist nationalism but also the
  claim he is “collaborating” with the China. The aim of this panel is to di
 scuss these new trends in Philippine politics in terms of political discour
 se, the drug war, economic and social policy, militarization, and foreign p
 olicy under the Duterte presidency as well as examining how it differs from
  the pre-Duterte era and what the longer term implications of this new poli
 tical era may prove to be.
