The Tydings-McDuffie Act: Philippine Independence and Neo-Empire in the Indo-Pacific
McKinley, Kendall
McKinley, Kendall
Abstract
This thesis aims to highlight Philippine independence as a policy inherently related to the expansion of the informal American empire. In particular, this thesis argues that the American empire is reinforced through voluntary nature of its evolution, namely through the active cooperation of Filipino politicians and elites. This phenomenon has constructed a hierarchy on the islands, in which Filipino elites are incentivized to opt into the American empire at the expense of politically marginalized Filipinos. Using this research, this thesis contextualizes the contemporary role of the United States in the Indo-Pacific since the Cold War.
