Ideal-typical welfare regimes do not change, in general, quickly, they are stable, due to the higher level of observation applied (using a high-flying bird’s or satellite’s perspective).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty years, however, are a long time also in welfare state system development. A great deal of mega events and mega trends have impacted on social policy all over the world in these last two decades. These include the Covid 19 pandemic, gender movements, rock-bottom low overall fertility (in the post-industrial setting), global production shifts (a.k.a. globalization of industrial production), and last but not least technological revolution brought upon by super-digitalization and artificial intelligence applications, and information society in general, and with it technological unemployment of a large parts of a whole new generation having become unemployable while they have been highly trained at college and university levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is high time to look at East Asia welfare state systems up close again, and the right theoretical and methodological lens, i.e. applying ideal-typical theory and methodology, to an otherwise not graspable fully dynamic and intertwined phenomenon: continued welfare state growth amidst crises and change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-04-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819568086\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-95-6809-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 297\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45444601806988,"sku":"9789819568086","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819568086_49c25e77-86f4-4bf7-8245-c575b5eabca7.jpg?v=1779654564","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789819568086","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
