As social work is fundamentally being altered by the 'Internationalization' of social problems, this book examines the implications for students and practitioners. Arguing that social professionals working locally need an understanding of global mechanisms and cross-cultural issues, it includes both local level and international examples.
Globalization is currently topical since social workers increasingly have to deal with its effects
This book is very relevant to practice since it focuses on local effects of international events
It covers range of topics such as asylum seekers, people trafficking, pandemics
