Social Work in a Global Context engages with, and critically
explores, key issues that inform social work practice around the
world. Social work can take many forms, and is differently
understood in different parts of the world. However, at base, it
can be seen as a profession which strives to advance the causes of
the vulnerable and marginalised with the aim of promoting social
justice, equality, and human rights. This text provides examples of
social work in a wide range of countries, informing our
understanding of what social work is. It looks at how practice
changes or stays the same, and at the impact of policy, as
experienced by service users as well as by practitioners working in
challenging circumstances. It also meaningfully reflects on the
strengths and challenges that are enabled by diversity. Divided
into four parts, this wide-ranging text discusses: - what social
work means in four different countries -some examples of the impact
social and political context can have on social work practice - how
social workers see and work with the vulnerable - the future for
social work, from disaster work to involving service users. Social
Work in a Global Context is the first truly international book for
all those interested in comparative and cross-cultural
understandings of social work.
