Description for The Welfare State in Korea. The Politics of Legitimization.
Hardback. An analysis of institutional dynamics which develops the argument that social policy development in Korea is not due to common exogenous factors such as international or union pressure but the desire of government to have itself legitimated. The book is part of the ST ANTHONY'S series. Series: St Antony's Series. Num Pages: 205 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1FPK; JFF; JKS; JPQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 21. Weight in Grams: 415.
Through the analysis of institutional dynamics Kwon argues that social policy development in Korea is not due to common exogenous factors such as international or union pressure but to the desire of the weakly-legitimated government to have itself legitimized. Such political rationale is deeply embedded in the structure of social policy institutions and particularly in the way that the state has played a part in financing social welfare programmes. Kwon shows that the role of the Korean state is characterized as essentially that of regulator-type rather than provider.
