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. Building Markets examines the
original four Newly Industrialised Economies (NIEs) of East Asia:
Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan, as well as Japan, the
regional forerunner in both economic and social terms. Chapters
undertake a comparative analysis of the various social policy
measures and redistributive efforts taken across a diverse range of
social policy sectors in the region, covering cash transfers,
healthcare, education, housing, and family policy. Addressing the
mounting pressure on East Asian economies to rethink their growth
strategies, Hwang concludes with a call for social means to be
diverted, adapted, and converted to serve new social ends.
Integrating cutting-edge theoretical insights with detailed policy
analysis, Building Markets will be an invaluable tool for academics
and postgraduate students interested in social policy, economics,
and development in East Asia.
