Global knowledge is increasingly essential for all aspects of social work. Todays professionals respond to concerns including permeable borders, the upheavals of war, displaced workers, natural disasters, international adoption, and human trafficking. Everywhere, social workers work with service users and colleagues from diverse cultures and countries. Globally relevant concepts such as human rights, development, and inclusion offer new perspectives to enhance policy and practice and facilitate the international exchange of ideas.This handbook is the first major reference text to provide a solid foundation of knowledge for students and researchers alike. The extensive collection of 73 chapters confirms the integral and necessary nature of international social work knowledge to all areas of practice, policy, and research. Chapters systematically map the key issues, organizations, competencies, training and research needs, and ethical guidelines central to international social work practice today, emphasizing the linkages among social work, development, and human rights practice. Indepth country case studies and policy examples encourage readers to understand how their practice in social work touches on international issues, regardless of whether the work is done at home or abroad.Representing all regions of the world, a wide range of contributors that are leaders in their fields have put together an exhaustive collection that represents the stateofplay of international social work today.

While the handbook covers a lot of ground, I was disappointed with the lack of recent case studies. It feels outdated in some sections, which is a shame because the topics are so important. It's okay, but I expected more.

Great Resource for Academics
I bought this for my thesis on social work practices worldwide, and it's been super helpful. The chapters on human rights are particularly well done. I’d say it’s a great resource, especially for academic purposes.

Informative but Dense Reading
I found the book quite insightful, especially the sections on global practices. However, it's a bit dense at times, making it hard to digest all the information quickly. It's great for reference but requires some patience!
