Building Markets
Distributional Consequences of Social Policy in East Asia
Gyu-Jin Hwang

Nowhere in the world presents a more dramatic case of wealth creation than East Asia. Contrary to the common belief that social policy in the economic powerhouses of the region is secondary to their pursuit of economic growth, Gyu-Jin Hwang argues that it has in fact played an integral part in building strong states and competitive market economies.

Cover Globalizing Welfare
Globalizing Welfare
An Evolving Asian-European Dialogue
Edited by
Stein Kuhnle
,
Per Selle
, and
Sven E.O. Hort
From the welfare state’s origins in Europe, the idea of human welfare being organized through a civilized, institutionalized and uncorrupt state has caught the imagination of social activists and policy-makers around the world. This is particularly influential where rapid social development is taking place amidst growing social and gender inequality. This book reflects on the growing academic and political interest in global social policy and ‘globalizing welfare’, and pays particular attention to developments in Northern European and North-East Asian countries.
