Building an Inclusive Democracy

In the Philippines, political dynasties have become a key feature of the political landscape. Some allude to the impact of governance at the local level on the varied social and economic performance within the Philippines. This poses some challenges in promoting more inclusive growth and development in the country. Among the challenges are issues of political inequality. Yet other countries have developed strong institutions to promote checks and balances in the exercise of governmental power, strengthening the capacity of the state in initiating and sustaining reforms. The AIM Policy Center is currently conducting research on Democracy and Inclusive Growth. This includes a study which aims to undertake empirical analysis of the patterns of dynasties across Philippine regions. The goal is to provide evidence on the evolving democratic political landscape in the Philippines, its links to social and economic prospects, and the extent that efforts to advance political and economic reforms could best be approached in this context.

In order to provide a wider platform for policy discussion, the AIM Policy Center, with the support of Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, and in partnership with the Ateneo School of Government and UP National College of Public Administration and Government will hold a conference entitled “Building an Inclusive Democracy”. It will be held on March 07, 2013, from 12:00NN to 5:30PM, at the Columbus Room, 42/F Discovery Suites, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The conference will feature two sessions: 1) presentation of studies on democracy and inclusive growth; and 2) policy discussion with representatives from political parties, government, academe, and civil society groups. Some important questions that the conference aims to address are:

  • How inclusive is our democracy?
  • Is the country‘s political system nurturing more dynastic leaders?
  • What are the platforms of the different political parties?
  • How do parties ensure continuity of their platforms?
  • What are the roles of political parties in the development of strong institutions?
