Kim offers unique insight into the deeper political dynamics of
Korean social policy by analysing the relationship between the
broader context of East Asian commonality and the unique
circumstances of Korea. Since the 1980s, South Korea has advanced
social policy at a rapid pace with the progress of political
democracy and the activation of civil society. Currently, South
Korea is equipped with a full range of social policies including
public assistance, social insurance, and social services. However,
South Korea's road to a remarkable social policy accomplishment was
not a smooth one and controversies sizzled over the values,
directions, and methods of social policy. Kim delves into the
political dynamics of Korea's social policy, spanning from the
traditional kingdom era to contemporary South Korea. In doing so he
examines the influences of Confucianism, developmental welfareism,
and the responses to the Asian economic crisis in shaping these
policies. An important resource not only for scholars and students
of Korean society and social policy, but also for scholars of
social policy more broadly, especially those with a focus on other
East Asian countries.
