Description

Explore the reality behind the stereotypes of East Asian social systems in The East Asian Welfare Model: Welfare Orientalism and the State. While Western observers often view East Asia through a lens of low-cost efficiency or social cohesion, this Routledge publication challenges those common perceptions. This academic work features six specialists examining the specific roles of the state within six distinct societies: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. By analyzing how these different nations manage welfare and state intervention, the book provides a deep look into the actual structures of East Asian governance. It is an essential resource for students and professionals studying government, politics, and social sciences.

Key Features

Analyzes the role of the state across six different East Asian societies including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Challenges Western stereotypes held by neoliberals and social-democrats regarding East Asian welfare systems.

Authored by Routledge as part of the Esrc Pacific Asia Programme for academic study.

Provides expert perspectives from six specialists to examine social cohesion and state intervention.
