 | Ageing, Long-term Care Insurance and Healthcare Finance in Asia Subjects: Area Studies; Global Development; Economics Finance Business & Industry; Social Sciences; Health & Development; Sociology & Social Policy; Asian Studies; Finance; Business Management and Accounting; Public Finance; Public & Nonprofit Management; Asian Studies (General); This book uses a revised version of Kingdon's multiple-streams framework to examine health financing reforms in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Republic of Korea (ROK) as well as long-term care insurance (LTCI) reforms in Japan and Singapore. It shows that the explanatory power of the multiple-streams framework can be strengthened through enriching the concepts of policy entrepreneurs, ideas, and windows of opportunity in the original framework as well as bringing the theoretical lens of historical institutionalism into the framework.
