International Social Work

Description

Rising global poverty, widespread conflict and post-conflict reconstruction, and the large population of displaced persons? these are a few global situations that are adversely affecting the well-being of millions of people.

This book 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, the authors prepare readers to actively respond to modern global challenges that are critical to the well-being of people, communities, nations, and ultimately all of us.

This special South Asian edition has been published with a new preface and an appendix that contains sources of excellent case studies drawn from across the South Asian sub-region.
