Produktbeschreibung

This engaging and timely volume contributes new knowledge to the rapidly emerging field of globalisation and social work. Interdisciplinary approaches bring together cutting edge scholarship from countries such as Australia, Finland, Japan, South Africa and Sweden. Major environmental, social and cultural issues are explored, developing an epistemology of situated knowledge and methodologies in order to examines how social work has responded to specific social problems, crises and vulnerabilities in a glocalised world. It proposes 'glocalisation' as a useful concept for re-framing conditions and practices for social work in a world perspective.
