Kurzbeschreibung

Globalisation is widely discussed in most of the social sciences, but it has only recently permeated social work thinking and literature. This book argues the necessity for social professionals working locally to equip themselves with knowledge of global mechanisms and cross-cultural issues. Local level examples include the increase in victims of trafficking or the effects of HIV/AIDS on some immigrant groups. International examples include the risk to children moving across borders, the growth of international paedophile networks and the proliferation of terrorism. Social work is fundamentally being altered by the 'Internationalisation' of social problems and this text discusses the implications for students and practitioners.
