Summary:
Social work educators and practitioners are grappling with many difficulties confronting the profession in the context of an increasingly neoliberal world. The contributors of this book examine how neoliberalism -- and the modes with which it structures the world -- has an impact on, and shapes, social work as a disciplinary field'. Drawing on new empirical work, the chapters in this book highlight how neoliberalism is affecting social work practices on the ground'. The book seeks to stimulate international debate on the totalizing effects of neoliberalism, and in so doing, also identify various ways through which it can be resisted both locally and globally.
