Description

Product Description Comparative social policy has long neglected welfare development in Asia. Not much is known about social welfare in the economically successful East Asian tigers (Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). They are late starters in social welfare but each has its own trajectory of welfare development. Despite the presence of extensive social welfare, they have shied away from western-style welfare states. The presence of strong developmental states and their development ethos explain in large part the underdevelopment of state welfare. About the Author KWONG-LEUNG TANG is an Associate Professor in the College of Arts, Social and Health Sciences at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. His academic interests include Asian social development, law and social policy, and comparative social policy. He is the co-author of Models of Workplace Training: Lessons from the Employees Retraining Scheme in Kong-Kong (with J.Cheung). His last authored book Colonial State and Social Policy was published in 1998.
