"Politics Without Borders: Philippine Politics and Governance offers an informed introduction to Philippine politics and governance and a balanced treatment of some of the key debates, issues, and disagreements that characterize the country's politics and governance. The textbook does not only equip the students with knowledge and skills but also develops in them a value-critical stance on existing rules, policies, institutions, and processes in the Philippines and an appreciation of the democratic political order in the country. It also encourages the students to be aware of the complexities and implications of democratic life in the Philippines. It also challenges them to participate actively in, as well as contribute to the deepening of the country's democracy. The book contains 5 Chapters. It concludes with Chapter Six (Citizenship-in-Practice). It discusses what democratic citizenship is and the civic virtues of a citizen that are important to the functioning of democracies. The is chapter provides an opportunity to students to analyze the issue of political engagement and empowerment that is an appropriate concern for the youth of today.
The textbook is enhanced bny excellent pedagogical features including, but not limited to individual and group activities, case study analysis, think-pieces, writing exercises, and practical examples. These pedagogical features are designed to develop students' independent, critical thinking, as well as clear and coherent writing." --Diana F. Mendoza, Ma. Lourdes F. Melegrito.
