7 Preface This book was conceived with two purposes in mind. One was to contribute to the growing literature on social welfare development of East Asian little tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Singapore) by locating their welfare development in the context of developmental states and developmental ideologies. The other was to fill in the gap left by comparative social policy analysis which has long neglected the rich economies in East Asia. While welfare state studies have attained a sophisticated level of development in terms of theory generation and policy analysis, the field has been weakened by a blatant neglect of economically rich East Asian little tigers. Although the literature on East Asian welfare development is growing rapidly, yet it is still overrepresented by single-country studies whose conclusions and findings may not be generalizable to the neighbouring countries. The availability of research papers and book chapters partially meet the needs of readers interested in Asian welfare development. Nevertheless, the number of texts which attempt to compare and contrast welfare development in East Asia is meagre. Systematic, cross-national study of East Asian welfare development has long been overdue. The book raises a number of central issues for those interested in comparative social policy. What is the present level of social welfare development in these four countries? What kinds of welfare institution have these countries established? What is the nature of these institutions? Given their economic might, why did these East Asian countries refuse to adopt western-style welfare states? What are some of the major determinants which would affect the future course of welfare development? Will their approach to social welfare be different after the onset of Asian economic crisis? Unlike those welfare state studies which often pose the question what determines welfare state development?, the point of departure of this book is: why has social welfare development been underdeveloped in East Asia? Acknowledging a host of factors which explain their underdevelopment, this study puts emphasis on the role of the developmental states. In line with the current interest in state-centred analysis, the important role of the state in shaping the economic growth as well as social welfare will be explored and analysed. Such emphasis on state actions and policies does not preclude analysis of societal forces of vii

8 viii Preface labour movement and business stances toward welfare. The concept of developmental states will also be used to explain the gradual but steady emergence of social welfare in these countries. We end our discussion on a sombre note. After five decades of development, the developmental states in East Asia are still averse to significant welfare institutions such as family allowance, well-articulated active labour market policies, and unemployment insurance. The concepts of social entitlement as right and redistributive justice are not embraced by political leaders in these states. We hope the book will prove useful to students studying the role of the state, social welfare development in Asia, and government policy. It will also be useful to academics interested in East Asian welfare development. We hope anyone who has a strong interest in the interface of developmental states and social welfare will find it of value. I must thank the Madam K. Li Memorial Fund for its funding, which allowed me to make several research trips to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hawaii. Thanks are also due to Florence Cheung and Jacqueline Cheung, who have typed, read, and commented on various chapters. However, given the scope of the book, errors and omissions no doubt remain. My gratitude and respect goes to Sarah Barrett for her meticulous work. Finally, special thanks to Tim Farmiloe and Karen Brazier of Macmillan Press, who offered help and suggestions. The standard disclaimer applies: any remaining errors are the sole responsibility of the author.
