It critically examines the relationship between the global and the local in light of a range of social issues and shows how such analysis can assist in improving social work practice. Incorporating the views of practitioners and analyzing students perceptions of global issues, the authors: Draw on a range of theoretical disciplines and traditions, including postcolonialism, sociology, cultural studies and political science Explore contemporary global issues such as the environment, new information and communications technology and the global mental health movement Examine the implications of adopting global notions of citizenship for social work, in a postcolonial era Provide discussion points to ground the above ideas in a local context, to better inform everyday practice Use of post-colonial theory and global focus on social work: gives the project a distinctive edge over competitorsThis timely text is essential reading for practitioners, students and academics across a range of disciplines that incorporate global concerns, including social work, social policy, social welfare and community care.
