The book examines the healthcare experiences of the most developed countries in Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore) and compares these with four of the most important health care systems in Europe (UK, France, Germany and Italy). Focusing on...

The five welfare states--Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore--are residual welfare states with low...
