Boudreau, Vincent,

Resisting dictatorship :repression and protest in Southeast Asia /Vince Boudreau. - 1 online resource (xv, 290 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Protest, repression and transition in Southeast Asia -- Authoritarian attack and dictatorial rise -- Protest in socialist Burma -- New Order repression and the Indonesian opposition -- The Philippine new society and state repression -- Repression and protest in comparative perspective -- People power and insurgency in the Philippine transition -- Protest and the underground in Burma -- Indonesia's democracy protests -- Democracy protest and state repression.

Vincent Boudreau's book compares state repression in three post-war dictatorships under Burma's Ne Win, Indonesia's Suharto and the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos. In each case the dictator faced distinct social challenges and responded with specifically tailored repressive strategies. These strategies shaped the resources, social bases and opposition cultures available to dissidents and in turn influenced the effectiveness of that opposition. The author balances his first-hand research in the countries in question with the social movements literature to consider the long-term interactions between the regimes and their societies in the wake of repression, and the emergence of the democracy movements which followed. This is a thought-provoking book, which offers a truly comparative study on dictatorship, resistance and democracy in South East Asia. As such, it will be invaluable to students, as well as to those involved in policy making and commentating on the region.
