Description

Book Synopsis
Rather than being seen simply as social policy implementors, in recent decades there has been recognition of the unique insights that social workers can bring to policy formulation. This book offers a theoretical framework for understanding why social workers engage in policy, and the implications for research, education and practice.

Trade Review
“Social workers have always been engaged in social policies – of all types, at many levels, in different arenas, using a range of professional strategies. Now we have a thoughtful book with compelling examples and insights. The authors are international leaders on this topic. This book should become a standard text.” Michael Sherraden, Washington University
