"The essays and articles collected in this book arrive at the synthesis that the nation's strategic center has been persistently occupied by the sovereign power of the same imperialist complex and its invisible ramifications. Soon the waves of globalization will sweep away the last refuge of the nationalist identity under the nation's Constitution, following the tsunami of the national-treatment provisions of the WTO agreements and its new dimensions in the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint. In this book, Dean Merlin Magallona opines that the national leadership has yet to evolve to the point of greatness that will direct the Filipino community on the path to self-determined sovereignty."--Back cover.
