Beschreibung

The book offers unique access to theoretical approaches and practical examples of international social work in the context of war and conflicts. The reader gains knowledge about the competences and role of social work, which contributes to mitigating the effects of war and conflict. The book raises the question of how to connect international social work with local approaches and offers suggestions for a development of social work with respect to exchanging knowledge and experiences between the West and the East, the Global North and the Global South. It furthermore discusses the role of social work in reducing the problem of gender-based violence and in the methods of peacebuilding processes in post-war and post-conflict societies.

Rezensionen

"The strengths of the book are the various examples from practice, as well as the encouragement of including local knowledge into the decision-making process concerning the intervention. Politics, diversity, and ethics are topics transversally addressed in the book. I consider that this volume is of particular interest for students, practitioners and academics focused on international social work." (Anca Mihai, European Journal of Social Work, Vol. 27 (5), 2024)
