International Social Work: Issues, Strategies, & Programs PB Book 2013 Textbook

From the back cover:

Taking into account the evidence and wisdom emerging from the broad scope of social work around the world, Cox and Pawar artfully teach the practice of international social work through the Second edition of their must-have volume, International Social Work: Issues, Strategies, and Programs. Focusing on the tools necessary to effectively respond to current global challenges, the authors use an integrated approach that incorporates global, human rights, ecological, and social development perspectives to explore the connection between social need and the factors that influence it. The book offers practical knowledge and strategies aimed at actively addressing issues that are critical to the well-being of people, communities, and nations around the world, including poverty, conflict, and post-conflict reconstruction, the development of countries and disadvantaged populations, migration and displacement, and the needs of specific populations such as child soldiers, the elderly and disabled and AIDS orphans.
