Transnational Social Policy highlights the changing face of social
policy and social work against the background of accelerating
transnationalization of economies, labour markets, education,
social services, and care. The contributions of this book provide
unique case examples on the interplay of social policies, mobile
populations, and travelling knowledge about welfare within an
increasingly asymmetrical global context. This innovative volume
also includes historical studies on the transformations of social
policies during the last century and reflects the developments of
social welfare across the Global North and the Global South. With
its emphasis on theoretical assumptions of policy translation, the
case studies show the importance of adjustments, negotiations, and
participation of various actors in the transnational social field
of welfare production. Thus, within ever-shifting contexts of new
political agendas promoting the free play of the market and a
neoliberal agenda of competition and austerity, this insightful
book reveals new transnational forms of social exclusion that
function within, across, and in-between nation-states. Presenting a
major and much needed addition to current discussions on
globalization and the increasing complexity of worldwide social
relations, this volume will be of interest to scholars and graduate
students interested in fields such as Social Policy, Social Work,
Public Administration, Development Studies, Political Science, and
Sociology, as well as many interdisciplinary fields including
Global Studies, International Development Studies, and Immigration
and Settlement Studies.

The flow of migrants from south to north and east to west carries
with it growing concerns about the economic integration, political
incorporation, and social inclusion of newcomers and their
children. But what happens when a group of people deliberately
excludes themselves from mainstream society? How can social
policies, human services, and communities best understand and
respond to them? In Out of Place, Luann Good Gingrich explores
social inclusion and exclusion in relation to the approximately
60,000 Low German-speaking Mennonites who have migrated from
traditionally self-sufficient and agrarian colonies in Latin
America to rural areas of Canada. By examining the free-market
principles that organize the human services industry the author
exposes the inherent conflict that arises when this "market logic"
is imposed on a group that does not embrace these ideals. The
author's innovative approach to social policy and human services
which emphasizes the relationship between dominant and subordinate
cultures, encourages us to find new ways to authentically engage
with difference and bridge the gaps that divide us.
