Post welfare-Orientalist approaches to the regionalism and welfare regimes in the East Asia

本项目的主要目的是重新构建东亚比较社会政策的方法论，这与东方主义的东亚观有关，并了解东亚福利制度的现实图景。我们的研究结果可以分为四个维度。(1)关于东亚共同的社会政策，我们需要介绍社会维度以及经济维度。然而，通过对欧盟现状的研究，在现实中实现这一目标并不容易。(2)对东亚生产再生产领域的研究表明，贫困和失业问题以及外籍照护工作者的协调是东亚各国共同面临的严重问题。(3)社会质量研究和幸福研究在比较社会政策研究中具有重新审视理论的重要性。(4)对日本社会政策历史的研究表明，二战以来日本社会政策的基本意识形态一直保持不变

The main purpose of this project was to reframe the methodology of comparative social policy in the East Asia which is associated with the orientalist view on the East Asia and understand the realistic pictures of welfare regime in the East Asia. Our findings of study can be categorized into the four dimensions. (1)On the common social policies in the East Asia, we need to introduce the social dimension as well as the economic dimension. However it is not easy to implement one in reality based on studying on current situation of the EU. (2)Our studies on the area of production and reproduction in East Asia show that poverty and unemployment problems and harmonizing the foreign care workers had been serious issues in the East Asia countries in common. (3)The social quality research and happiness study gain the importance to reexamine theory on the comparative social policy studies. (4)The studies on history of the social policy in Japan shows the basic ideologies of social policy in Japan have been remaining since WW2
