Abstract
This study traces homeless policies in South Korea that were established during and after the Asian Debt Crisis of 1998-2001. Similarities and differences between South Korea and the United States are compared regarding the neoliberal regulation of the poor and their urban space and highlights the South Korean division of the homeless into those deserving of and undeserving of state welfare relief. Despite superficial differences between South Korean and U.S. categorizations, common impacts include the reification of the ideologies and practices of gendered divisions of labor. Two additional commonalities are considered here: that operations of service distribution in South Korea are spatially organized and regulated according to similar patterns, and that responsibility for homeless people is increasingly delegated to the spatially contained Third Sector.
