Philippine technocracy introduction

Economic Policy-making and the Philippine Development Experience 1960-1985 An Oral History Project

Concept
General Objective:
Conduct interviews with technocrats involved in major decision-making and management of Philippine affairs from 1960-1985.
Uncover events that transpired during said period from the perspective of economic decision makers
Analyze interviews in terms of the oral history approach.

Concept
Specific Objectives
Pinpoint the key technocrats during the following periods:
1961 - 1965 Macapagal Administration
1965 - 1972 Marcos I Period
1972 - 1975 Marcos II Period (or Martial Law I Period)
1976 - 1978 Emergence of multilateral institutions, Beginning of financial problems
1978-1985 Martial Law II
Discern the significant themes which have emerged during these periods.

Concept
Research Significance
The research is the first attempt to document firsthand the account of the perceptions and actions of key economic figures during the Philippine developmental regime.
The study provides a valuable input for comparative political economic studies in the developing world.
The documentation to the views of the technocracy also provides a better understanding of Philippine political culture which will allow countries, like Japan which has given much assistance to the country, a more effective means to engage the Philippines, particularly in the field of governance.
And lastly, only a few oral history approaches have been applied in contemporary Philippine political research and there is now a growing recognition for their necessity and significance.
