The Fall of Marcos: A Problem of US Foreign Policymaking
1992
Overview
In February 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos fell from power after 20 years as leader of the Philippines. Marcos’ success as a politician and his decline took place within the context of the special relationship that had existed between the United States and the Philippines since 1898, when the Philippines became a U.S. colony. This case study uses that episode to examine the role of Congress, in shaping U.S. policy toward the country; the media, which provided extensive and influential coverage of the crisis; and intelligence within the U.S. policy process. It also analyzes how Washington can respond effectively when the leader of an allied country becomes corrupt and loses popular support. This case study could usefully be paired with “A King’s Exile: The Shah of Iran and Moral Considerations in U.S. Foreign Policy” (Case Study 261) and “The Fall of the Shah of Iran” (Case Study 120).
