"Duterte's Paradox: Power, Populism, and the Price of Change" offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the Philippines' most polarizing leaders, Rodrigo Duterte. With a presidency defined by bold promises, controversial policies, and unorthodox leadership, Duterte's time in office fundamentally reshaped the country's political landscape. This book delves into the complexities of Duterte's governance, examining his rise to power, his populist appeal, his foreign policy shifts, and the societal impact of his decisions.

Through an in-depth analysis of his War on Drugs, his pivot toward China, and his strained relationship with the United States, "Duterte's Paradox" reflects on the paradoxical nature of his leadership-where power and populism often collided with the democratic principles of justice, human rights, and accountability. The book also reflects on the lessons learned from Duterte's presidency, offering crucial insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the Philippines.

With careful research, firsthand accounts, and critical analysis, this book provides readers with a balanced, nuanced look at Duterte's legacy-celebrating his transformative moments while confronting the human costs of his policies. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern Philippine politics and the implications of Duterte's leadership on the nation and the world.
