Book excerpt: "When "people power" toppled Marcos, the Philippines was considered a shining example of the restoration of democracy, but, since 1986, it has encountered obstacles to the deepening of that democracy. Quimpo puts forth the idea of "contested democracy," and argues that deepening democracy involves tyransforming an elite-dominated, formal democracy into a participatory and egalitarian one."--Publisher's website.
