Global knowledge is increasingly essential for all aspects of
social work. Today's professionals respond to concerns including
permeable borders, the upheavals of war, displaced workers, natural
disasters, international adoption, and human trafficking.
Everywhere, social workers work with service users and colleagues
from diverse cultures and countries. Globally relevant concepts
such as human rights, development, and inclusion offer new
perspectives to enhance policy and practice and facilitate the
international exchange of ideas. This handbook is the first major
reference text to provide a solid foundation of knowledge for
students and researchers alike. The extensive collection of 73
chapters confirms the integral and necessary nature of
international social work knowledge to all areas of practice,
policy, and research. Chapters systematically map the key issues,
organizations, competencies, training and research needs, and
ethical guidelines central to international social work practice
today, emphasizing the linkages among social work, development, and
human rights practice. In-depth country case studies and policy
examples encourage readers to understand how their practice in
social work touches on international issues, regardless of whether
the work is done at home or abroad. Representing all regions of the
world, a wide range of contributors that are leaders in their
fields have put together an exhaustive collection that represents
the state-of-play of international social work today.
