This book advocates the development of international social work,
both as offering an important perspective on practice at local
level and as a distinct form of cross-border and supra-national
activity. The author argues that the effects of globalization and
regional policies on the welfare sector have implications for the
users of social services and community development programmes which
require all social professionals to have a better understanding of
these processes and consequences and of the international networks
through which they themselves might operate. Some of the material
used is of a comparative nature, for instance in relation to the
education of social professionals or their relationship with the
state or the family and examples are drawn from a wide range of
countries. But there is also a thematic treatment of three
phenomena which are seen to have significant international
dimensions, that is, poverty, migration and disasters. The book
considers the role of social professionals in relation to these
themes and identifies greater scope for intervention in relation to
a range of social problems at international levels.
