Critical factors influencing international sporting success of the Philippines : the athletes' perspective

2017

The aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the recent declining performance of the Philippines in international sporting competitions by identifying and evaluating relevant factors that are critical to its international success through the perspective of the national elite athletes.

The Philippines 2017 : Duterte-led Authoritarian Populism and Its Liberal-Democratic Roots

2017

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte led a phenomenal campaign to win the 2016 national election. During his first two years in power Duterte has become the protagonist and exemplar of a key new development – the social formation of a regime of authoritarian populism. Based on an analysis of news reports, public debates, survey results, and official policy documents from 2017, the article examines various features of this emergent regime and then illuminates the historical-institutional mechanisms that brought it about. The inquiry is predicated on an understanding that the old EDSA Republic’s liberal-democratic regime has been marked by intractable socio-economic crises since its installat…

Negotiating informal housing in Metro Manila : forging communities through participation

2016

This research project examines socialized housing programs available to informal settlers in the megacity of Metro Manila, Philippines, and the socio-political and institutional relationships that enable or impede access to housing. Megacities are urban agglomerations with populations of over 10 million inhabitants and Asia and Africa contain some of the fastest growing cities in the world. The challenge of Southern governments to meet the housing needs of hundreds of thousands of urban poor is exacerbated by the influx of migrants into these economic hubs, the scarcity of land for low-income housing and the inequalities and infrastructure deficiencies in developing countries’ cities.

Instruments developed in other culture need to be examined using a sample from the target culture in order to establish its cultural utility. The primary aim of this study was to explore the factor structure, construct validity, and reliability of t…

Living the urban challenge : sustainable development and social sustainability in two southern megacities

2007

Kehitysmaiden nopea kaupungistuminen ja miljoonakaupunkien voimakas kasvu luovat haasteita kestävään kehitykseen tähtäävälle suunnittelulle. Kansainvälisissä kehitysohjelmissa on pyritty turvaamaan suurkaupunkien taloudelliset ja ympäristölliset tavoitteet. Kestävän kehityksen sosiaalinen ulottuvuus on usein rajattu kaupunkien tarjoamiin sosiaalipalveluihin.- Ympäristön säilyttäminen tuleville sukupolville ei onnistu vain talouteen, ympäristöön ja palveluihin kohdistuvilla teknisillä toimilla. Tämä johtuu etelän suurkaupungeille tyypillisestä räikeästä sosiaalisesta eriarvoisuudesta. Suurkaupunkien suunnittelussa tulisi analysoida sellaisia sosiaalisia haasteita, jotka heikentävät kaupunkie…
