Globalization has become a seemingly unstoppable force over recent
decades and, in its wake, global notions of social justice have
developed in response to its negative aspects. Neo-liberal economic
policies have been a key element in the wider process of
globalization, and these policies have had a profound impact on
welfare provision and the shape of social work practice. Arising
dissatisfaction among users of welfare and social work services is
fuelling the search for a new, more radical social work that is
firmly rooted in principles of social justice. Globalisation,
Global Justice and Social Work explores the global effects of
neo-liberal policies on welfare services in different countries,
with contributions from social work academics, practitioners and
welfare activists around the world. The first section of the book
presents case studies of impact of neo-liberalism on welfare
systems, social service provision and the practice of social work.
In the second section the chapters explore the relationship between
social work practice and the struggle for social justice. Authors
discuss the personal and political dilemmas they have had to
address in seeking to link a personal commitment to social justice
with their daily practice as workers and educators in social work.
The final section assesses the prospects for social work practice
based on notions of social justice, by looking at what can be
learned from the experience of previous radical movements as well
as from emergent global and local movements.
