This inspiring and stimulating book confronts contemporary
challenges facing social workers. Many of the forms of human,
social and environmental degradation addressed arise from social
problems that have persisted over time, such as social work's own
uncertain professional status, poverty, structural inequalities,
migratory movements and armed conflicts. However, these challenges
include newer problems rooted in the interdependent nature of the
world. These issues centre on globalization, the worldwide
recession that undermined fiscal sustainability in Western
countries, environmental pollution, climate change and natural
disasters, concerns which present fresh arenas for social worker
involvement, and opportunities for innovation in social work
theories and paradigms for practice.In exploring the tensions that
globalization creates for practice, Lena Dominelli reveals the
diverse and heterogeneous nature of social work as a profession
even though it has many facets that are shared across borders. In a
fluid global context where migratory movements and the
internationalization of social problems mean that problems that
began in one country have significant implications and require
action in another, social workers must support practices that
endorse human rights, social justice and citizenship for all of the
planet's inhabitants."Social Work in a Globalizing World" sets an
ambitious agenda for social work and calls for international
co-operation, alliances and action alongside local ones. Only then
can its optimistic message of a viable end to the degradation of
human beings and their physical environment be achieved.
