This book guides the reader through the international development
of social work and discusses how aspects of globalisation are
making it an increasingly international activity and profession.
Individual chapters locate the UK population historically and
currently as a multicultural community and explore the
international issues that social workers in the UK confront in
their daily practice with children and families, people with mental
health issues and older people. This text helps students meet the
academic benchmarks and National Occupational Standards that
require them to locate social work practice in a European and
international context.
Social work is a profession that is increasingly involved with
issues which have a global dimension. This Handbook tackles the
global/local aspect of social work in its various forms and
interrogates the key concerns that societies are facing through an
international lens. The contributors show that, with an
appreciation of commonalities and differences, local practices and
appropriate forms of international activity can be better
developed. Areas covered include: - Analysis of 'International
social work' - Globalisation and indigenisation - Social justice
and human rights - Poverty and livelihoods - Ecological issues -
Migration - Education, theory, research and practice - Social work
in different settings - Religion and spirituality - Responses to
disasters and conflicts - Life course perspectives - Regional
perspectives - Future directions With a truly international range
of contributions, the Handbook incorporates perspectives from Asia,
Africa, Europe, Australasia, the Middle East and the Americas. It
will be an invaluable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates,
researchers and academics working in the fields of social work,
social welfare, human services, and community development
worldwide, as well as service providers and policy makers in the
international arena.
