Unique in its use of a sustainability framework, Social Welfare
Policy for a Sustainable Future goes beyond U.S. borders to examine
U.S. government policies-including child welfare, social services,
health care, and criminal justice-within a global context. Guided
by the belief that forces from the global market and globalization
affect all social workers in their practice, the book addresses a
wide range of relevant topics, including the refugee journey, the
impact of new technologies, war trauma, global policy instruments,
and restorative justice. A sustainability policy analysis model and
an ecosystems framework for trauma-informed care are also presented
in this timely text.
This dynamic text on human behavior takes a unique international
perspective to introduce students to the concepts of large social
systems and development. Social workers now practice in an
increasingly global context for reasons ranging from migration to
international adoptions to developments in technology.
Understanding these global connections is essential to social
workers today. Human Behavior in a Just World emphasizes the
"common human condition" between people, and encourages students to
see the powerful connections between environmental conditions and
behavior. The authors address key elements of human behavior
through a global lens, and discuss powerful global policy
instruments and resources, such as the United Nations. Engaging
North American and global case studies illustrate the theories in
practice.
This book explores culture, development, and spirituality from the
perspective of social work. This framework serves as foundation and
guides analytical deliberation through the use of case studies from
around the world. With emerging trends in development,
synchronistic synthesis between the inner self and interventions,
it is anticipated to contribute to advancing well-being of all
people. The book reflects global experiences from both the social
work professions and development practitioner's perspectives, as it
pertains to economic and social development. The book serves as a
guide to those who want to better understand and incorporate
spirituality into successful social work interventions, practice,
and research. It examines social development in the daily lives of
children and families by looking at larger national and
international phenomenon that can affect the well-being of
communities. The book further discusses natural disasters, poverty,
war, migration, human trafficking, war, violence and other factors
with suggestions of innovative global interventions that have been
utilized to assist diverse marginalized groups and communities.
Unique in its use of a human rights framework, Social Work and
Social Welfare goes beyond U.S. borders to examine U.S. government
policies - including child welfare, social services, health care,
and criminal justice - within a global context. Guided by the
belief that forces from the global market and predominant political
ideologies affect all social workers in their practice, the book
addresses a wide range of relevant topics, including the refugee
journey, the impact of new technologies, war trauma, environmental
justice, and restorative justice. As a general textbook, the
content is organized to follow course outlines for basic,

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.
