Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Under the backdrop of general retrenchment of welfare spending in the developing nations, the variations among these countries are remarkable, for both the magnitudes and directions of social spending. Yet, the literature is underdeveloped both theoretically and empirically. Many important concepts and theories developed based on the experience of advanced democracies are unsuitable in the context of developing countries. This paper uses a broadly familiar and reasonably rich framework of production regime to account for the variation of social spending across the developing world. It argues that the link between globalization and social spending is conditioned on domestic factors which are mainly political and associated with the role governments play in managing macroeconomy. Precisely, production regimes which define the relationships between governments and business set the broad orientation for development strategy a country adopts – whether national governments are more concerned with efficency and international competiton or with equality and protection. Accordingly, development strategies set the social spending into two forms – productive spending aiming at improviing productivity and human capital and protective spending amining at redistribution through social transfers. The patterns, however, are not static but subject to the influence of two dynamic political factors. One is the introduction of democracy, which compels governments to spend more on both social insurance and human development but also threatens a government’s ability to invest in long-run development. Another is institutional capacity of the national government, which determines whether national governments are better able to implement the desired policy. Globalization takes effect only when these political factors present. The arguments are tested using a cross-sectional-time-series dataset that covers over 50 developing countries since the early 1970s.
