International perspectives on social work : global conditions and local practice (Bog)

As social work is fundamentally being altered by the 'Internationalization' of social problems, this book examines the implications for students and practitioners. Arguing that social professionals working locally need an understanding of global mechanisms and cross-cultural issues, it includes both local level and international examples.

International Perspectives on Social Work tilbyder en præcis og afbalanceret introduktion til nye måder at tænke på om principperne og omfanget af socialt arbejde. Bogen konfronterer tre teoretiske kategorier: rettigheder, behov og retfærdighed. Bogen runder forskellige former for social nød og praksis, herunder trafficking og global spredning af sygdom.
