The rise of Philippinedization Philippinedization is not Finlandization - Cabalza, Chester B.; Cabalza, Chester; Espena, Joshua; Mcclain Gill, Don ([Manila] [IDSC, International Development and Security Cooperation], 2021)
Philippinedization is the process whereby a weaker state, backed by a powerful country, goes through great lengths in temporarily refraining from opposing a neighboring great power by resorting to economic and diplomatic rapprochements at the strategic level but strengthening its national security infrastructure on the operational level with an eye for potential conflict in the foreseeable future. It broadens the multiplexity of the process that explains the depths of cultural factors affecting the broad brush of economics and politics but by strengthening and diversifying the internal capacity and external networks to eventually escape from its current geopolitical dilemma given the probability of conflict in the future
