In a period of rapid change for welfare states around the world, this insightful book offers a comparative study of three historically small welfare states: the US, Japan, and South Korea. Examining various aspects of welfare states, chapters explore the underlying reasons behind the restraint of social security in these countries. Featuring contributions from international distinguished scholars, this book looks beyond the larger European welfare states to unpack the many common political and institutional characteristics - from labor organization to party politics - that have constrained welfare state development in industrialized democracies. Offering insight into welfare state development outside of Europe, this book will be crucial reading for scholars of welfare states, especially those working on Asian and US social policy specifically. It will also be of interest to policymakers and social policy experts in government, civil institutions, and international organizations, particularly for those working in developing countries. --
