Rezensionen

'These three volumes [see also Human Rights and Social Equality: Challenges for Social Work and Environmental Change and Sustainable Social Development] have the intention of covering the 'most important social aspects of social work and development in the world today', a writes Sven Hessle, Professor of Social Work at Stockholm University, in the introduction to the volumes. ... The many contributions of three volumes, albeit very diverse in form as well as in substance, provide food for thought about the global agenda.' European Journal of Social Work
