Seminar on “Raffles and the Ruins of Empire” by Dr Sarah Tiffin

 

Dr Sarah Tiffin spoke at a Politics of Arts in Southeast Asia seminar on the depictions of the ruins of Java by British artists.

“The Second Duterte Presidency?” by Malcolm Cook

 

2018/102, 6 December 2018

The next presidential election scheduled for May 2022 could see a historic first in the Philippines. A first that would reaffirm and reproduce the most powerful and debilitating continuity of Philippine democracy. 2022 could well see Sara Duterte succeed her father as president.
