Global Social Work in a Political Context: Radical Perspectives
How is social work shaped by global issues and international problems, and how should it address them? This is the first book to ask that question, examining international social work from a radical perspective. Iain Ferguson and colleagues begin by examining the origins of modern social work, then move on to address the continual tension between the need to deliver care and the risk of attempting to control the lives of the people receiving care. He compares different approaches from around the globe, using case studies from the UK, United States, Canada, Spain, Latin America, Australia, Hungary, and Greece.
