On July 18, EAI held an expert seminar with Professor Sijeong Lim of the University of Amsterdam regarding the working paper, "Globalization and Welfare State Attitudes in South Korea.” By defining four types of individuals with varying perceptions of the effects of globalization on themselves and on the nation, Lim poses the question, “How does one’s exposure to economic globalization shape his or her attitude towards the welfare state?” Participants focused particularly on the unique characteristics of Korea and how they might have informed this study, and discussed various models and proposals that could build an effective welfare state.
