Title: The Anti-Americanism of President Rodrigo Duterte: Has the 60s Generation Finally Prevailed?

Speaker: Dr. Patricio Abinales

The anti-Americanism of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte did not just arise out of perceived personal slight or because he took classes under Communist Party of the Philippines Great Leader Jose Ma. Sison. It represents his generations fraught relationship with the United States as a global power. It was a nationalism that was expressed in various ideological forms - from the "constitutional authoritarianism" of President Ferdinand Marcos, to the Maoist Third Worldism of the communist party. It is this nationalism that is now being resurrected by Duterte.
