<br/><br/> "This book puts the spotlight on the Chinese and South-East Asian welfare systems, providing an up-to-date assessment of their character and development. In  particular it examines the underlying assumptions of these systems and how the processes of globalisation are impacting on them. As well as specific country case  studies, there is a valuable comparative analysis of Eastern and Western welfare states." "East Asian welfare regimes in transition will be essential reading for  students of social policy requiring an understanding of non-Western welfare systems. Policy makers and practitioners who are interested in how Eastern welfare systems are adapting to globalisation will also find it an important read."--BOOK JACKET.
