Editat de Rajendra Baikady, Jaroslaw Przeperski, Sajid S.M., M. Rezaul Islam
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 feb 2025
This Handbook explores the current dynamics, threats, and opportunities of social work education in terms of its origin, growth and development within different regions and political regimes. The book aligns with overarching contemporary themes such as changing governance structures around the world; digitalization and globalization; and decolonization and also in line with the advancement of global agendas for social work and social development led by the IASSW, ICSW & IFSW. This contemporary text engages comprehensively with diverse political systems across the world and explores the interactions with, and implications for social work policy, practice, and education in these countries and globally. Contributions in this handbook encompasses multiple and diverse voices from the social work fraternity in the Global North and Global South in discussing the policies related to social work education, current social work practice and challenges in social work educational program delivery. While the most appealing feature of this handbook is the range of countries and political systems covered, it also exclusively looks into the role of ' Power' and the 'Politics' within the context of social work education and how policies are reimagined in social work education and practice.

Recenzii

A call to arms for social work to reimagine a critical engagement with contemporary power and politics to frame a socially just world in the midst of chaos, turmoil and political instability.
This new Handbook of Power, Politics and Social Work, edited by Rajender Baikady and his colleagues, provides a comprehensive and informative overview of social work's engagement with power and politics around the world. Focusing on social work education, the collection shows how educators are enhancing the curriculum to address different dimensions of power and prepare students to promote social justice in their future careers. It offers many important insights into the issues and should be widely consulted.
Although most social work practice is frequently intertwined with power, politics, and policy, these topics are often underrepresented in social work education programs. This gap leaves future social workers less prepared for power/politics-focused practice. In this handbook, Dr. Rajendra Baikady and his editorial team have assembled social work educators and researchers around the world to explore this critical issue from various perspectives. Their analysis addresses and an important gap in social work literature. The handbook is a useful resource for teaching, research and practice in social work and welfare.
The Oxford Handbook of Power, Politics, and Social Work provides much needed insight into the politics and delivery of social work in a wide range of countries, including many in the global south. It makes a helpful contribution to extending knowledge about the interface between governments and social work practice at a time of increasing global tensions.
