Globalizing Welfare: An Evolving Asian-European Dialogue is a much needed and welcome contribution to the yet scarce literature. The book is a recommended addition to the libraries of scholars specialized in sociology, political science, public administration, social policy, and social work who aim to learn more about welfare systems in Nordic Europe and East Asia. -- Ijin Hong, Journal of Social Policy
