Global Social Work: Crossing Borders, Blurring Boundaries is a collection of ideas, debates and reflections on key issues concerning social work as a global profession, such as its theory, its curricula, its practice, its professional identity; its concern with human rights and social activism, and its future directions. Apart from emphasising the complexities of working and talking about social work across borders and cultures, the volume focuses on the curricula of social work programs from as many regions as possible to showcase what is being taught in various cultural, sociopolitical and regional contexts. Exploring the similarities and differences in social work education across many countries of the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific, the book provides a reference point for moving the current social work discourse towards understanding the local and global context in its broader significance.

Helle Strauss is senior lecturer at the Metropolitan University College, Institute of Social Work, Denmark.

"Besides benefitting those interested and involved in international social work, it also serves as a stepping stone for those seeking to engage in the relevant discourses about international social work and social work education from a global perspective." -- Daniel Gredig, International Journal of Social Welfare
"this book is an attempt to reshape the current debate about global social work, and it offers a considerable contribution from senior social work academics from some 24 countries. ... This is not yet a programme of action, but there does seem to be a new consistency from these academics, who are well placed to move things forward." -- Daniel Anderson, European Journal of Social Work
