Aspalter examines the historical, political, and social backdrops to the social welfare systems in the most developed welfare state systems of East Asia: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the People's Republic of China. He applies a political approach to examine the causal determinants of welfare state development, such as: historical factors; political systems; party systems; party politics; the politics of legitimization; the impact of constitutions; state structures; electrons; social movements
