Explaining Divergent Redistributive Reform
This article examines why reforms extending redistributive programs produce divergent outcomes across policy pillars within the same country under a shared historical‐institutional framework. Using comparative process tracing, it introduces the retail politics mechanism to explain the success of healthcare reforms versus the stagnation of pension reforms in Indonesia's post‐authoritarian democratic transition. The mechanism refers to a causal pro…
Collaborative social innovation in transitioning societies
Social entrepreneurship has increasingly intensified as an alternative innovation to social provision in the last decade, largely because the development of public services is often considered rudimentary. Drawing on 27 interview data from 13 institutionalized social entrepreneurship (ISE) initiatives across Indonesia, we compared how ISE is adapted between state-driven and corporate-driven initiatives and improves service delivery, overcomes fin…
Eco‐Social Policy in Emerging Economies
As a nascent field, little is known about eco‐social policy, and to an even lesser extent, within emerging economies. This article examines how eco‐social policies are framed and practiced in this context using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 20 peer‐reviewed articles, selected from an initial pool of 985 records following a multi‐stage screening and eligibility assessment process. The findings reveal that eco‐social policy in developing …

Design/methodology/approach The study employs modified Bayesian process tracing to examine how the Indonesian production regime and political bargains from 1998 to 2014 influenced these reforms. It commences with generating synthesized mechanisms ba…

The Anthropocene rift and social policy – rethinking ontological and epistemological perspectives
Purpose For over two decades, diverse social sciences disciplines have placed the Anthropocene among the key factors influencing contemporary ontological and epistemological advancements. However, social policy research and literature focus little on the Anthropocene discussion loop. This article, therefore, discusses how debates on the Anthropocene unfold in social policy understanding and practices; and how they challenge core premises in the p…
Re-understanding well-being in the Global South
Purpose The significance of well-being in social development policy and practice is increasingly acknowledged by scholars and practitioners worldwide. Nevertheless, when examining well-being within the context of Global South trends, existing conceptualisations seem to yield incongruent indicators. Given the background, this paper aims to synthesise theoretical and empirical literature on well-being to foster an understanding of well-being in con…

Stigma Paradox and Welfare Rights Claiming
The issue of stigma has long been a central topic of discussion regarding the low uptake rate of targeted welfare programs. However, empirical evidence examining this claim within Global South countries remains scarce, particularly in Indonesia. Our study employed a qualitative approach, utilizing data from 33 interviews conducted in two areas with high poverty rates, evaluating the extent of institutionalized stigma that deters individuals from …
Moving beyond stereotype
This qualitative study explores the experiences and attitudes of welfare recipients towards Indonesia's conditional cash transfer (CCT/PKH) program. The specific objectives of our paper include examining the program's impact on impoverished families, their response to stereotyping, and the implications of stereotyping for government policy among Indonesian low‐income families. We conducted twenty in‐depth interviews with key stakeholders (program…
An exploratory study on women single parents’ experiences in coping with socioeconomic insecurity

This study aims to explore the strategies employed by women who are single parents to secure their families from socioeconomic issues. It also delves into the experiences and viewpoints of families regarding the social institutions they turn to for assistance during …

Design/methodology/approach Our research is based on document review, investigating intricate situations with numerous aspects and providing an excellent opportunity for innovation and examining theoretica…
How can child assistance policy supporting familisation be supported
Purpose This study examines the public’s perception of cash transfers for children in societies where children's welfare is often viewed as a private affair. Design/methodology/approach Based on 12 semi-structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted in urban Jakarta, Indonesia, we explore mothers' perspectives on cash transfer programmes for children within low-income families during fieldwork in October 2023 and January 2024.…
The Politics of Path-Creation
Institutional scholarship highlights policy as a frozen landscape, explaining its reluctance to depart from the predetermined trajectories. However, this argument needs to be reassessed to better capture the reality of the Indonesian social policy reform, most notably in healthcare. The reform involved sudden and radical changes from a segmented and decentralized model to a more integrated and inclusive one—outside the critical juncture of the 19…
Bringing Indonesia into the global welfare regime debate
Studies on welfare state regimes have been dominated by consideration of rich OECD/European and increasingly East Asian countries/territories, leaving South Asian cases such as Indonesia underexplored. The few existing studies that have explicitly tried to conceptualize the Indonesian welfare regime have resulted in little consensus. To address the resulting lack of clarity, this article reviews scholarly articles relevant to bringing Indonesia i…

Changing welfare solidarity
This study aims to draw the solidarity patterns of welfare providers, i.e. state and non-state responders to COVID-19, and how their acts of solidarity reacted to the crisis and its impacts. These data are based upon secondary literature and semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholders associated with each particular case. We suggest that interactional patterns of solidarity between institutionalized type and informal solidarity have cha…
Beyond path dependency
This article sets out a coherent framework for debates and discussions on social policy changes during crisis periods. Using Indonesia as a case, this article compares its social policy responses to the 1997–1998 economic crisis and the current COVID‐19 pandemic crisis. Both two crises and their responses, once analysed, lead to an argument that path dependence does not always dominate policy processes, as most literature claims, but rather it op…
Digital welfare state and problem arising
Purpose The penetration of technology and the strengthening of evidence-based policies have paved the way for the automated delivery of social services. This study aims to discuss the inherent risks of this automatization, particularly those associated with the discrimination, exclusion and inequality problem, which the authors package under the theoretical umbrella of a digital welfare state (DWS). Design/methodology/approach This conceptual art…
Social insecurity and varieties of family resilience strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic
Purpose This study is aimed at developing an understanding of the consequences of the pandemic on families' socioeconomic resilience, and the strategies adopted by the families in overcoming social vulnerabilities amid uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The materials for this study consist of semi-structured interviews with 21 families spread across the South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Families in the study represent four different income…
Social Policy Development Revisited
Established theories of social policy development, such as industrialisation and power resources, have been extensively used to explain the expansion of social policy, predominantly in developed economies. We argue that they may not always be applicable in the Global South. Our article examines multiple factors at play in Indonesia’s healthcare policy expansion using qualitative content analysis of historical sources, literature, and nine intervi…
Unmasking the social policy responses of Covid-19 in four Southeast Asian Nations
This article aimed to compare the social policy responses to COVID-19 in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand using an institutionalist’s perspective. So far, the crisis expanded social protection through temporary schemes, with rare reforms, and opened greater possibilities for future institutionalisation of new policies. We argue that the COVID-19 policy responses must be viewed as an unfinished agenda of expansion-driven policy respon…
Ideas and Policy Response to the Covid-19 Crisis
Coronaviruses have emerged as a potential disruptive force in policymaking. Using a comparative case study method, we examine two social policy responses in Jakarta, Indonesia: the Social Safety Nets (SSN) programme and the health policy. Such examples demonstrate an aggressive change in policy direction from means-tested systems and government-centred approaches to a total relaxation of conditions with the involvement of non-state actors in the …
Who should care? Exploring the views and experiences of individuals in negotiating solutions for health security

Consolidating citizens' support has become increasingly important for the long-term sustainability of the programme. This study explores individual views and experiences in negotiating solutions for health security under the situation where pre-industrial modes …

This article aims at setting out a broader context for the debates and discussions on welfare transformations driven by rapid global challenges and restructuring. Confronted with challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, governments and societies across the globe must rethink and reimagine their social welfare approaches to make them appropriate and effective to manage the risks and crises. The papers in this special issue address three ma…
Welfare regime and the patrimonial state in contemporary Asia
A systematic understanding of how patrimonial state contributes to the wider-ranging role on a series of welfare configurations in Asia is still lacking. This article, therefore, will investigate this issue with Indonesia as case study. It is argued that Indonesia is one of the Asian countries where patrimonial rules have still been affecting the welfare regime dynamics for many years, even as the institutional structures of the democratic regime…

Healthcare expansion in Indonesia and Thailand
This article provides an overview of the scholarship on healthcare reform in democratic middle-income countries through comparative cases from Indonesia and Thailand. This study identifies the reasons why Thailand has achieved universal healthcare faster than Indonesia and analyses the policy outputs towards universalism resulting from unfolding reforms. Taking a closer look at the causal mechanisms underpinning healthcare developments (clienteli…
The complementary roles between clientelism and familism in social policy development
What drives social policy development? Most of the literature addressing this issue focuses on the economic crisis and the increase in left power as its causation. On the basis of the Indonesian case, this paper engages in a debate about the clouts of clientelism and familial ethics in shaping social policy path development. This article claims that the quick replacement of productivist welfare regimes with the more inclusive system after Asian F…

Managing social policy in the emerging welfare regime of governance
Although Indonesia and South Korea have parallel narratives concerning their political-economic order that influenced social welfare arrangements, they have had different welfare outcomes. The main purpose of this study is to survey the possibility for Indonesia to adopt key features from Korea that can be applied to catch up in terms of its welfare outcome improvements. We argue that the key to the success of Korean social welfare development is…

The limits of healthcare reforms in Indonesia
In recent decades, governments in developing countries have been inclined to introduce greater redistributive policies, placing greater emphasis on universal programs than on targeted ones. This article elaborates on the different theoretical perspectives of social policy development in the Global South to explain the emerging features of contemporary healthcare in Indonesia. It is argued that although certain political and structural factors may…

Reappraisal of the political approach on East Asian welfare state development
Purpose Political analyses of the East Asian welfare state development often stress the importance of the power resource model, in which vibrant coalitions between the leftist party, interest groups, civil society and working-class unions have become driving factors in producing generous welfare outcomes. Challenging such analyses, this article discusses the convergence of the political attitude between political actors who are increasingly homog…

Unpacking the complexities of child well‐being in Southeast Asia
The body of knowledge related to child well‐being in Southeast Asia is sketchy and preliminary. Using standardized Z ‐scores, we computed the child well‐being index (CWI) to observe how well 11 Southeast Asian countries take care of children. The overall result shows most countries in this region have “less” to “moderate” performance in terms of CWI realization. An exception is given to Singapore, which has achieved a higher degree of CWI. Furthe…
Revisiting the Singaporean values to welfare as foundational ideas of Central Provident Fund development
This succinct review returns to the debate on political‐culture and Singaporean social policy nexus that has been abandoned since 2000. They put the spotlight on the social policy through the Confucian lens, examining to what extent Confucianism teaching was conditioned in formal welfare provisions. Yet, they are too focused on the common idea of Confucianism while overlooking the original idea of Singaporean value promoted by Lee Kuan Yew. Hence…
Healthcare decommodification in decentralization context
This article illustrates the emergence of radical local welfare initiatives as a political response to the imperfect national program in decentralization context in Indonesia.

The forms of decommodification and (de)familisation measures during Covid‐19
Using the decommodification and (de)familisation framework, this paper examines the two main Social Safety Net programme during the pandemic and its effect on female welfare in Indonesia.
