Transnational Social Work and Social Welfare by Ursula Kämmerer-Rütten (Editor); Beatrix Schwarzer (Editor); Yafang Wang (Editor); Ursula Kämmerer-Rütten (Editor); Alexandra Schleyer-Lindenmann (Editor)
ISBN: 9781138912786

Publication Date: 2016-08-16

The underlying frame of social work is the nation state, and it is from within the state that welfare strategies and social policies are devised and implemented. However, post-colonialism, globalisation, migration and the associated implications for human rights, social justice and social welfare policies contest the idea of a clearly defined space for social work and present new challenges for researchers and practitioners. Transnational Social Work and Social Welfare argues for the increased importance of the transnational perspective in social work theory and practice.
