2. Courts and the breakdown and re-creation of Philippine democracy: evidence from the Supreme Court's agenda

Author

Subjects
Philippines. Supreme Court -- Social aspects, Philippines -- Laws, regulations and rules, Democracy -- Laws, regulations and rules, Social sciences
Abstract

Despite definitions of democracy that imply important potential roles for courts and judges, much theoretical and empirical work remains to be done if we are to understand the roles of courts and judges in democratization. Nevertheless, the sparse theoretical work available yields a few predictions about how a court should be expected to perform its work during periods of breakdown and re-creation of democracy. This study seeks to test predictions from available theory in the context of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. The Philippines is an appropriate country in which to investigate the roles of courts in democratization. Prior to the breakdown of Philippine democracy the Supreme Court enjoyed a reputation for independence and impartiality that could have been the envy of any court in the world. By the end of the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, the Supreme Court had come to be regarded as subservient, partial, narrow, and timid in its jurisprudence. The analysis uses evidence from patterns in the Supreme Court's agenda to test the relevant theory.

3. Resource inequalities and regional variation in litigation outcomes in the Philippine Supreme Court, 1961-1986

Author

Haynie, Stacia L.

Subjects
Philippines. Supreme Court -- Research, Philippines -- Laws, regulations and rules, Actions and defenses -- Social aspects, Social classes -- Philippines, Political science
Abstract

Research on litigation outcomes suggests that success is related to the level of resources available to the parties in conflict. For more developed societies, the 'haves' appear to win more often. Research on the Philippine Supreme Court finds that the 'have nots' appear to have a significant advantage, particularly for some issue areas. While these studies find international variations in the effects of resources on litigation outcomes, intranational variation has not been explored. This analysis investigates the relationship between regional bias, resource inequalities, and litigation outcomes before the Philippine Supreme Court for certain economic issues. The results indicate that there is a greater likelihood of success for individuals who challenge corporations or the government, and reside in the least developed region of the country.

4. The judicialization of politics in the Philippines and Southeast Asia

Author

Tate, C. Neal

Subjects
Philippines -- Laws, regulations and rules, Judicial review -- Political aspects, International relations, Political science
Abstract

The legal and constitutional atmosphere and the nature of majoritarian institutions during the post-Marcos era led to a greater judicialization of politics in the Philippines. Absence of democratization restricted the process in many other Southeast Asian nations. The Supreme Court's decisions opposing many of the government policies prove the judiciary's important role in the working of the government.

Abstract

Several multinational mining companies have been aggressively trying to set up operations in the Philippines after its Congress passed a new mining law in 1995 despite protests from local small-scale miners. The law allows foreign firms to completely own a mine in exchange for financial and technical assistance. However, the division of mining revenues between mining companies and the Philippine government has not yet been reached.
