This book is an up-to-date analysis of the issues facing the future of the social work profession in the face of rising political authoritarianism, economic inequality and insecurity, class and racial conflicts, fiscal pressure and the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides an account of how these factors interact, and what their consequences are for policy and practice. Reflecting the author's experiences in Europe and Commonwealth countries, the book is international in its scope and analysis. It is suitable for professionals and students alike, and will also be relevant for social policy academics and researchers.
“The book is very ambitious and impressive, covering a lot of ground in a very condensed way. … Each chapter has its own abstract, keywords and list of references, making it easy to use as a springboard for further exploration. … a very gripping and dense text, written with feeling and commitment and a great deal of erudition and experience.” (Bronwen Williams, Journal of Social Work Practice, November 30, 2022)
