%X Most people would agree that developing countries should advance
from basic, informal, and insecure welfare provision toward universal, formal,
and secure welfare regimes. This article examines how analytical concepts of
developmental statehood and developmental welfare statehood might be applied
to this issue. In particular, how is it possible to combine economic and social
development objectives in a mutually beneficial manner? The article reviews the
history of both concepts and some of their shortcomings; examines policy features
of developmental (welfare) statehood, focusing on the examples of South
Korea and four other countries that have frequently been referred to as “East
Asian welfare regimes”; and explores some policy options for developing countries
seeking to expand their economic and social policy-making capabilities.
