German Institute for Japanese Studies, Tokyo (DIJ) PodcastPostindustrial Pressures, Political Regime Shifts, and Social Policy Reform in Japan and South KoreaThis paper examines how postindustrial pressures and political changes have shaped recent social policy reforms in Japan and South Korea.

I argue that the interactions between postindustrial and domestic political factors provide credible explanations for welfare state policy changes observed in...2005-07-0552 min
