People’s Contrasting Attitudes Towards Universal Basic Income in Sweden and South Korea
The discourse on universal basic income varies widely across countries. In Sweden, public opinion is generally negative even in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is barely discussed on the public policy table. On the other hand, in South Korea, public opinion is not as negative as in Sweden, and basic income is actively raised as policy agenda. Our study based on survey results reaffirmed the contrasting attitudes of the Swedish and Su…
The Developmental State, Export-Oriented Industrialization, and South Korea’s Social Security System
This chapter reviews the historical development of the Korean welfare state, with particular attention to Korea’s export-oriented industrialization (EOI) under the developmental state period of the 1960s and 1970s. Although EOI’s success has helped make Korea one of the world’s fully functioning wealthy democracies, the EOI approach’s sensitivity to rising labor costs also has created unfavorable conditions for welfare-state building. To avoid ha…
Union structure, bounded solidarity and support for redistribution
This study unveils the effects of union structure – national, industrial and enterprise unionism – on the solidarity and redistribution preferences of workers. We argue that labor unions have varied scope and levels of solidarity as well as redistribution preferences because solidarity is not naturally given but tends to be cultivated by labor unions. In order to sustain commitment to egalitarian wages and redistributive social policies, a spirit…
The Small Welfare State
The Political Economy of the Small Welfare State in South Korea
This book explains why the Korean welfare state is underdeveloped despite successful industrialization, democratization, a militant labor movement, and a centralized meritocracy. Unlike most social science books on Korea, which tend to focus on its developmental state and past years' rapid economic development, this book deals with social welfare issues and politics during the critical junctures in Korea's history: industrialization in the 1960–7…
Beyond familialism
This Special Issue takes on a new cross-regional comparison between Southern Europe and East Asia in an attempt to identify ‘new politics’ of welfare state adjustments. Departing from the previous literature that overemphasized regional peculiarities of East Asian and Southern European welfare states, our Special Issue highlights family resemblances – among Italy, Japan, Korea and Spain. We argue that these four welfare states – often labelled as…
Parochial Welfare Politics and the Small
Retirement, Work and Pensions in Ageing Korea
Even among the four Asian tigers, with their economic miracles during the past several decades that allowed them to join the ranks of the developed nations, South Korea is extraordinary. As significant as its economic progress, from a dirt poor and devastated nation in the 1960s, is South Korea’s emerging welfare state. Although established in a short time, and still immature in some aspects, its unique East-Asian model now faces a population tha…
Korean Social Concertation at the Crossroads
Since South Korea made a historic social pact in 1998 amid the Asian financial crisis, a newly established presidential committee, the Korea Tripartite Commission, has become a center of social concertation. The Korean case signifies the need to complement the theory of social concertation with a new set of hypotheses concerning structural factors, with particular attention to industrial structure and the mode of labor movement
Corporate Unionism and Labor Market Flexibility in South Korea
There is significant variance in the strategies of labor market flexibility under the same pressure of globalization. This article attempts to explain that variance by examining closely the Korean case, with particular attention to the response of labor, one of the most intractable actors in the reform process. After theorizing the nature of social welfare as a quasi-collective good and hypothesizing labor's responses based on Olson's theory of c…
Democratic governance and bureaucratic politics
English Governance theories have two theoretical tendencies: downplaying the role of the state and overemphasis on cooperative relationships among participants in the policy-making process. This article seeks to redress the balance by paying more attention to bureaucratic politics and conflicting policy networks, using the case study of Korean pension reform. This orientation enables us to understand the effect of governance not only on relations…
