The aim of this book is to exemplify the ways in which social work
and research develop in 'advanced' welfare states - countries where
public spending is relatively high as a proportion of GNP. While
such countries have traditionally been associated with Scandinavian
countries in particular, and North-Western Europe more generally,
there are other countries where the public spend on welfare is
relatively high. The various contributors in this book explore and
exemplify ways in which social work and research are distinctive
for advanced welfare states. This involves exploring their
connection to professional identities, histories and welfare
systems; their associations with academic, theoretical and cultural
traditions of collaboration between academic and social work
practice, and the distinctive links with community, national
policy, governmentality and agency, with respect to forms of
knowledge, discourses and conception of social problems. Written by
contributors who have experience of living and working in Belgium,
Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Singapore and the UK, this book speaks
throughout about problems, methods, systems and ideas in language
that is readily transferable and transcends national boundaries of
thought and social work practice. It will be read and understood by
social work students across Europe.
