While the remit of social work professionals is, in general,
locality-based, social work has a long tradition of concern about
international issues. Social work theorists have been increasingly
interested in establishing the international credentials of the
discipline within a globalized economy, and in considering the
relationship between the local and the global. social work problems
on a global scale. Aiming to fill both a theoretical and a practice
gap in the literature, the book discusses the experiences of
academics, practitioners and students involved in international
exchanges in social work. It draws on a major EU-Canadian exchange
project as well as separate projects in countries including South
Africa, the USA, China and Australia. experience, and they give
guidance on how to deal with both the practicalities and
aspirations of living and working across borders. This book should
thus be valuable both to readers interested in the meaning and the
realities of international social work and to those hoping to
embark on an exchange programme themselves.
