International Handbook on Social Work Education

Experts contribute to social work education with their survey of the state of the field in over 23 countries and regions within the Americas (United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America, South America and Argentina), Europe (United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, Central/Eastern Europe, Russia and the Republics), Africa (Africa, Zimbabwe and South Africa), and Asia and the Pacific (Asia/Pacific, Australia, India, Bangladesh, Japan and China). This reference guide also considers social work education from a comparative and global perspective in terms of current problems and programmes and future prospects. Social workers, educators, academics and professionals should gain from the country studies, international overview and bibliographies.
