The second edition of Policy Practice for Social Workers expands
the concept of policy practice in social work settings and
illustrates how significant policy change may be achieved at a
local, community, state, and national level. Guided by an ethic of
care approach, this textbook is intended to raise readers’
awareness about policy practice and its fundamental relationship
with the aims of the social work profession, offers a foundation
for key skill development, and contextualizes the work of policy
practitioners in the larger political-economic settings in which
they work. This textbook is divided into two parts. First, readers
will expand their understanding of policy practice, its beginnings
and development over the course of social welfare history, and the
political, economic, and social drivers that affect policy
decisions and undergird the U.S. political system. Readers will
also learn about the ethic of care framework and the value-based
lens it contributes to the policymaking process. Later, in the
book’s second part, readers will explore the essential skills and
values in policy work. Detailed coverage and vivid examples offer
valuable insight into specific advocacy skills including lobbying,
community organizing, mobilizing advocacy publics, coalition
building, campaigning, problem analysis, policy analysis, and
policy evaluation. Within its comprehensive overview of policy
practice and advocacy, the new edition of this text extols a
value-laden perspective to identify and assess unmet needs and
promote a more socially just environment for all. Combining these
dual aims, Policy Practice for Social Workers is an excellent
cornerstone of policy and policy work for undergraduate and
graduate students in social work.
