University of the Philippines Diliman Quezon City, Philippines / 9-10 February 2017
| Political Economy and Globalization 1: The Mass Transit System in Metro Manila The panel stems from an interdisciplinary project that aims to put together a comprehensive and critical survey of mass transit plans for (Metro) Manila, focusing in particular on the rail network that services the metropolis from 1879 – 2014. Reading these plans across time will be informed by a particular understanding of the political economy of ideas and institutions. This particular strand of political economy relies on the critical examination of the idea versus interest continuum and how this contrasting, yet linked, understanding on what drives economic, technocratic, and public policymaking shape the interpretation and implementation of select ideas regarding mass transit planning. The panel, however, does not want to end its close scrutiny of mass transit plans and its contexts with a plan to end all plans. Instead, it will be a series of academic critiques of the current mass transit predicament in Metro Manila drawn from the disciplines of history, transport studies, geography, and political economy.by Rosette; Olivan; Aloc; and Damian and Daguio |
