"This assessment of democracy in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao was initiated by the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy (PCID), in partnership with the University of the Philippines National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG) in order to gauge the quality of democracy that has existed in the autonomous region since its creation in 1989. The region was established in response to the clamor of the country's Muslim population for self-determination in a country that was overwhelmingly Christian in religion and determinedly Western-biased (because of its Spanish and American colonial past) in its regard towards the Muslim community. Because the Philippines is nominally a democracy, styled after its U.S. mentor's political system, this autonomous unit was created in the image of its "parent" central government with a Regional Governor as local executive and a Regional Legislative Assembly as the law-making institution. This autonomous region was to give Muslim Filipinos a free hand in running their local political affairs in consonance with local traditions and beliefs. Unfortunately, this concession in regional autonomy has failed to produce that results that were expected as the plight of Muslim Filipinos barely improved in the twenty years since autonomy was granted. In the light of the many conflicting evaluations of this failure, this assessment was undertaken to try to clarify the factors that led to this underperformance in democratic practice using the framework refined by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral - Assistance, an inter-governmental organization that advocates democracy worldwide. The assessment comes at an auspicious time as the Philippine government has just signed a framework agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front that promises to finally end the decades-long secessionist conflict in Mindanao. PCID and UP-NCPAG offer this democracy assessment as part of their contribution to bring about peace and development in Muslim Mindanao."-- Provided by publisher.
