There exist different kinds of welfare states in the world. This article briefly discusses in what way welfare states differ and raises the question whether the idea and phenomenon of a ‘welfare state’ is globalizing, and if so, in which directions welfare states are moving. More specifically, the article draws attention to characteristics of the so-called Nordic and East Asian welfare models and reflects on the question whether the two ‘welfare models’ are on converging paths. To say that the two models are converging would be imprecise or an overstatement, but it can be claimed that some of the East Asian countries have moved in a ‘Nordic’ direction as to more universalistic policies and ambitions, while the Nordic countries are moving towards less exclusive reliance on state or public welfare, although this is a trend made with reference to challenges and developments in Western welfare states and not to characteristics of East Asian welfare states since they hardly appear in the Nordic social policy discourse. The globalization of social policy discourses may lead to more convergence in terms of policy responses to similar challenges
