Contemporary Asian society is marked by social processes associated
with the loss of stable economic growth and high employment; family
structures capable of caring for family members in need; and
governmental economic and political competence. Post-financial
crisis job uncertainty and income and labor market polarization
have become important issue in Asian societies. Family structures
are viewed as have been weakened, with a corresponding rise in
divorce and domestic violence. Trust in the government is in
decline. Against this backdrop it is timely to review three
critical issues: 1) policies addressing work-related risks and
socio-economic security; 2) changes regarding the structure and
stability of families; and 3) issues concerning governance in times
of weakened state capacity, declining trust, and the emergence of
new politics. Containing chapters written by international
scholars, this book introduces the concepts and theoretical
approaches of risk and risk and governance and places them within
the context of Asian societies.
