Globalization challenges social work with constant social change,
making a social worker's job and the task of social work education
more complex and uncertain. Post-modern thinking suggests that
social workers must learn to cope with complexity in ways that are
in tension with the increasingly managerialist organization of the
social services. The authors explore and question the concepts of
'postmodern', 'international' and 'global' in light of growing
interest in international social work in the early 21st century.
Emphasizing the importance of critical reflection, they argue that
educational colonization can be challenged and effective
anti-discriminatory and pro-equality practice and education
promoted. Each chapter provides direct examples of how students and
academics can apply these ideas in practice and in their learning,
and how they can respond to and influence the challenges and
changes that are taking place. The authors also examine educational
and practice issues arising from attempts to incorporate
international understanding into national practice and education
systems. The book is designed to be stimulating to academics
interested in international social work while remaining accessible
to practitioners and students without international experience.
