Summary

Historically and to the present day, social work has been closely intertwined with social movements, both as allies and in opposition to them. This engagement finds its expression in conventions (human rights), cooperation (world conferences) and coalitions (NGOs).This textbook offers an insight into the connections between social movements and social work from an international perspective, teaching their historical and theoretical foundations and illustrating them in a practical way with case studies from around the world. It aims to bring the perspectives of a ‘global social work profession and discipline’, and thus the international and political dimensions of social work, back to the forefront of the discipline.With contributions bySusan Arndt | Mario Faust-Scalisi | Ernst Kočnik | Claudia Lohrenscheit | Rahel More | Hans Karl Peterlini | Monika Pfaller-Rott | Andrea Frieda Schmelz | Caroline Schmitt | Marion Sigot | Ute Straub
