"This well-written book will undoubtedly help those interested in working in the domain of international social work and social development. ―SHORTER NOTICES
Global poverty, widespread conflict and post-conflict reconstruction, and the large population of displaced persons are just a few of the rising number of global situations that are adversely affecting the well-being of millions of people. Practitioners from several professions are deeply concerned about these issues and are becoming increasingly active in addressing these matters at the local, national, and international levels.
International Social Work: Issues, Strategies, and Programs draws together the practice wisdom emerging within the broad scope of international social work practice. Using an integrated perspectives approach, which incorporates global, human rights, ecological, and social development perspectives, authors David Cox and Manohar Pawar prepare readers to actively respond to modern global challenges that are critical to the well-being of people, communities, nations, and ultimately to all of us.
Key Features
- Provides an integrated perspectives approach to international social work and social development practice to give readers alternative theoretical frameworks not found in other books
- Focuses on the experience of teaching and practicing international social work, rather than reflecting on the field
- Includes tables, chapter summaries, learning exercises and questions, possible research areas, and recommended readings to prompt critical thinking and classroom discussion
This book is designed to teach international social work practice to students and practitioners at all levels. International Social Work is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate courses in Social Work and Development Studies as well as an excellent resource for social workers, human services professionals, and development practitioners.
