Beskrivning
Social Policy and Change in East Asia is a collection of essays from a group of indigenous East Asian social policy researchers who met bi-annually to discuss social development issues. The book’s focus is the policy responses of respective East Asian government since the 2008 financial tsunami struck the region. Together, the essays in Social Policy and Change in East Asia argue that traditional social policy approach has failed to account for the problem of economic volatility and to devise policy measures that can promote long-term stability. Avoiding a static and Eurocentric approach, the authors of this book seek to unravel the meaning of the social development approach in various policy contexts. This book supports a dynamic understanding of social policy formulation that does not neglect the problem of economic turbulence in policy and planning.

Recensioner i media

[T]he chapters provide interesting perspectives on particular aspects of the evolution of social policy in the region. The book . . . provides a useful starting point for work on a number of key issues that require more systematic comparative analysis—such as gender, inequality and the different institutional arrangements and relationships between state, market and household across countries within the region.
