Iraq, Terror, and the Philippines' Will to War

Více o knize

The book explores the Philippines' involvement in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and the War on Terror, emphasizing the interplay between overseas employment, the nation's dependency on the U.S., and the influence of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's Catholicism. It uniquely analyzes how these factors shape the Philippines' foreign policy, linking international relations, labor migration, military conflict, and religious beliefs. This study provides insights into the role of peripheral states in global conflicts and the religious dimensions of their foreign policies.
