The State Department Boys
Author: Marciano R. de Borja
Publisher: Vellum
ISBN: 9780991504787
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The book relates the untold story of the efforts of the U.S. Department of State and selected U.S. Foreign Service posts to train the first Filipino career diplomats before and after Philippine independence in July 1946. These trainees eventually formed the core of the Philippine Foreign Service. In the Philippines, they are fondly and collectively called the "State Department Boys." Some of these pioneer diplomats rose to prominence, becoming distinguished ambassadors to major countries and permanent representatives to the United Nations. Others led less brilliant careers. A few left the Foreign Service shortly after joining. All of them have already passed away - the last surviving member of the group died in 2009 at the age of 93. The book also discusses Philippine-American relations in the wake of Philippine independence, in particular the efforts of the United States to ensure the smooth transition of the Philippines from a colony to an independent state and to enable it to conduct its foreign relations by setting up its Foreign Service and developing a core of professional diplomats. The research is based mainly on primary materials - declassified State Department records at the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Maryland, personal documents, correspondence, and pictures from the Edward W. Mill Collection at the Bentley Historical Library. In addition, the author conducted research in leading libraries and archives in the Philippines and interviewed relatives and friends of the State Department Boys, some of whom shared newspaper clippings, pictures, and other materials for this book.

The Moral Foundations of Politics
Author: Ian Shapiro
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300189753
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
When do governments merit our allegiance, and when should they be denied it? Ian Shapiro explores this most enduring of political dilemmas in this innovative and engaging book. Building on his highly popular Yale courses, Professor Shapiro evaluates the main contending accounts of the sources of political legitimacy. Starting with theorists of the Enlightenment, he examines the arguments put forward by utilitarians, Marxists, and theorists of the social contract. Next he turns to the anti-Enlightenment tradition that stretches from Edmund Burke to contemporary post-modernists. In the last part of the book Shapiro examines partisans and critics of democracy from Plato’s time until our own. He concludes with an assessment of democracy’s strengths and limitations as the font of political legitimacy. The book offers a lucid and accessible introduction to urgent ongoing conversations about the sources of political allegiance.
