Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With elections in both the Philippines and the United States in 2016, the future of the alliance must be institutionalized to ensure that it is not diminished by a change of leadership in either country. A new Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement and cooperation in the South China Sea are important components of the new era of relations, but they are not and should not be the only defining features of the alliance. Given the long history of U.S.-Philippine relations, the alliance must be based on more robust cooperation across the spectrum of political, security, economic, and sociocultural relations. Security concerns provide an acute impetus for leaders to put more energy into the relationship, but its sustainability will require a more comprehensive focus.

Book excerpt: The Philippines shares common principles with the United States of America such as freedom, democracy, free enterprise and respect for human rights. Over the years, the two countries nurtured the relationship encompassing historical, political, economic and socio-cultural aspects. The Philippines fought side-by-side with America during the Spanish-American War, against the Japanese during the Second World War, in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and the latest US led Global War on Terrorism. Since 1946 to date, the United States and the Philippines maintain an existing agreement entitled Mutual Defense Treaty. However, the US - Philippine Military Bases Agreement of 1947 was terminated in 1991 and eventually US forces were pulled out of the Philippines. Since then, both countries maintained a low-key alliance. After the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States, the US - Philippine security alliance was once again reinvigorated by the Global War on Terrorism. The Philippines was the first ASEAN country to openly support the American led campaign against terrorism. The pullout of the Philippine humanitarian contingent in Iraq last July 2004, caused tension in US - Philippine relations. It is of mutual interest for both countries to explore the security challenges in order to determine what commitment the Philippines can make and what US should realistically expect.

Book excerpt: A sweeping history of America's long and fateful military relationship with the Philippines amid a century of Pacific warfare Ever since US troops occupied the Philippines in 1898, generations of Filipinos have served in and alongside the US armed forces. In Bound by War, historian Christopher Capozzola reveals this forgotten history, showing how war and military service forged an enduring, yet fraught, alliance between Americans and Filipinos. As the US military expanded in Asia, American forces confronted their Pacific rivals from Philippine bases. And from the colonial-era Philippine Scouts to post-9/11 contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, Filipinos were crucial partners in the exercise of US power. Their service reshaped Philippine society and politics and brought thousands of Filipinos to America. Telling the epic story of a century of conflict and migration, Bound by War is a fresh, definitive portrait of this uneven partnership and the two nations it transformed.

Book excerpt: The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks upon America's symbols of economic and military dominance were a challenge to America's present-day greatness, and a test for the Western values of life, liberty, and democracy. The United States' declaration of the global war on terrorism (GWOT), as an aftermath, was not a "call to arms" for the Americans alone. It was a call for unity and action for all the freedom-loving nations of the world against this modern-day scourge. American and Philippine security interests dovetail in this respect. The terrorist threat, which has known international, regional, and local linkages, has long besieged the United States and the Philippines. It is, therefore, in the mutual interest of both countries to explore the challenges and opportunities of their long-standing security cooperation in addressing the terrorist problem. This paper addresses the following topics: the definition of terrorism, the Global War on Terrorism, Al Qaida's linkages to Southeast Asia, the Al Qaida-Abu Sayyaf linkage, Philippine internal security concerns, Communist Party of the Philippines/New Peoples Army, Moro Islamic Liberation front, Abu Sayyaf group, Philippine Government's response to terrorism, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, U.S.-Philippine security relations, and the U.S.-Philippine response in combating terrorism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its long history of serving as a major world power, the United States has had only one major colonial possession in the Asia-Pacific - the Philippines. Soon after achieving victory in World War II, the US granted independence to the Philippines, while the European powers were striving hard to retain their colonial possessions. Why did the new global superpower end its colonial rule, while the weaker European imperial powers were tempted to keep theirs? It was actually a master political stroke by the Truman Administration. While giving political independence to the Filipinos, it deftly erected a structure of an unequal relationship with the Philippines to turn the country into a powerful military bastion to serve American interests. One of the consequences of this policy was reflected in Washington's need to maneuver and engineer the election process in the Philippines in order to keep in place a pro-American head of state. Filipino presidents, in the early 1950s, were made in the US, while elections took place in the Philippines. Based on archival research, this book examines the historical relationship between these two countries.
