Rezensionen

The book will be of interest to students of international social policy, globalization and of South Korea, as well as political scientists, drawing as it does on a detailed and distinctive study of the political nature of social welfare... What is particularly interesting in this study is the way the writer works with political aspects of social welfare reform and the predominance of the market economy, in particular the large industrial companies... This is a fascinating study of class power, developing democracy, dramatic economic development and crisis. -- Prof. Liz Ross, University of Birmingham Social Policy, Vol. 35/3: 2006
