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.
