This paper critically studies Meidner's wage-earner funds project. On the basis of this, this paper intends to create new prospects for a universal welfare regime. From the perspective of the welfare system, the funds project is a correction or supplement of the Swedish welfare system of the Swedish model centered on 'redistribution'. However, the funds project shares the ideology of Swedish model and its fundamental premise, I.e. guild socialism and labor-centrism. This paper discusses the limitations of the funds project resulting from this, especially with regard to its three purposes: equalization of property distribution, economic democracy and the correction of excess profit. It then highlights that the alternative to overcome the limitations of the funds project and the Swedish universal welfare system should be based on a new ideology and fundamental premise that is cut off from guild socialism and labor centrism. As an alternative fulfilling this, this paper focuses on theories that suggest that the Common Wealth Fund should be created and basic income should be implemented in the form of dividends as its dividend. As a result, Commons Capital Stock and the basic income as its dividend are presented as alternative prospects for the funds project.

The study found that the origins of modern Korean welfare regime are closely related to the political and economic order of the U.S. military rule between 1945 and 1948. The creation of developmental state in 1960s and 1970s can not be imagined from the standpoint of the U.S. military rule. The U.S. military government dismantled the labor movement and the farmers' movement, and dealt a devastating blow to leftist political forces. Through this process, the U.S. military government turned the political landscape of the Republic of Korea, which was dominated by left-wing political forces in August 1945, completely transformed into the political landscape dominated by right-wing political forces. Moreover, it would not have been possible without the physical force of the US military government to transplant American capitalism instead of the social (democratic) state that the majority of the Korean people wanted. Through farmland reform, the traditional landowning classes were broken down, the revolutionary farmers turned into conservative peasants, and the distribution of factories owned by the Japanese led to the birth of a new capitalist class that was subordinated to the state. From the viewpoint of the welfare regime, the most significant meaning of the US military government is that it laid the foundations for the developmental state in the 1960s and 1970s in Korea.

This paper examines the impact of the institutional complementarity between welfare regimes and production regimes on income inequality. Using comparative welfare data by various sources for 14 OECD nations from 1980 to 1997, this paper attempts to answer two questions. First, is there a institutional complementary in regulatory process between distribution and production? Second, if it is correct, what kind of causal structure do we predict? Panel Corrected Standard Errors(PCSE) model, a data analysis method in pooled cross-sectional time-series, is employed to examine the interaction effects between the two variables: coordination in the sphere of distribution; coordination in the sphere of production The evidence suggest that there are powerful interaction effects between distributive coordination and production coordination and that the institutional complementary has effects on income inequality. First, the income inequality effect of coordination in the sphere of distribution becomes less positive(more negative) as coordination in the sphere of production increases. Second, the income inequality effect of coordination in the sphere of production becomes less positive(more negative) as coordination in the sphere of distribution increases.

The purpose of this study is to examine the socal policy of the Yoon Seok-Yeol government from the perspective of both policy and theory. Theoretically, the analysis reveals that the Yoon government attempts to build and implement a welfare system model that was distinctly different from the previous Moon government. The newly elected government adopted a welfare model known as 'welfare for the vulnerable.' This model inherits the welfare ideology of the conservative parties in Korea, which is the self-reliance welfare. The Yoon government continues to expand welfare and family support, which were promoted by the Moon government. However, in most other areas, the Yoon government pursues different policies than the previous government. In terms of policy, this study demonstrates that the social security policies of the Yoon government is insufficient to solve the welfare blind spot problem that is widespread in the Korean welfare system. Among the Yoon government's policies, there are only a few policies that can eliminate welfare blind spots, such as improving social assistance systems, introducing parental allowance, and promoting sickness allowances.

This study analyzed a total of 99 articles(from 1972 to 2009) related to social welfare in North Korea. The main findings of this study are as follows: First, the approaches of change within system are needed and this can make well-balanced perspectives. Second, the perspectives of external-totalitarian must be rejected and the immanent-critical approaches should be addressed. Third, in terms of study contents, ideological, institutional and practical studies need to be extended. Fourth, micro studies should be more developed. Fifth, in the research method, the quantitative research method, and the synthetic and comparative strategies should be more employed. Finally, use of original text should be further conducted.
