This book is a novel contribution to academic discourses on the
coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and how it has impacted societies
globally. It proffers an overview on the social development and
political measures, from both the Global North and Global South, to
prevent COVID-19's spread. It illuminates major social, political
and economic challenges that already existed in different contexts
and which are also currently being amplified by COVID-19.
Curiously, this global pandemic has opened spaces for different
actors, across the globe, to begin to fundamentally question and
challenge the hegemony of the Global North, which sometimes is
evident in social work. Linked to the foregoing and while
reflecting beyond the pandemic and into the future, the book
proposes that social work must become more political at all levels,
and strive to transform societies, global social development
efforts, and economic and health systems. This contributed volume
of 38 chapters discusses and analyses ethical, social,
sociological, social work and social development issues that
complement and enrich available literature in the socio-political,
economics, public health, medical ethics and political science. It
provides various case studies which should enable readers to gain
insights into how countries have responded to the pandemic and
learn how COVID-19 negatively impacted countries in different parts
of the world. This book also provides a platform for the
articulation of neglected and marginalized voices, such as those of
indigenous populations, the poor, or oppressed. The chapters are
grouped according to three main themes as they relate to research
on the COVID-19 pandemic and social work in Africa, Asia, Europe,
Latin America and North America: Analysis: Social Issues and the
COVID-19 Pandemic Strategies and Responses in Social Work: Globally
and Locally Outlook: Looking Ahead Beyond the Pandemic Intended to
engage a global, diverse and interdisciplinary audience, The
Coronavirus Crisis and Challenges to Social Development is a timely
and relevant resource for academics, students and researchers in
inter alia Social Work, Philosophy, Sociology, Economics, and
Development Studies.
