Social Work and the Making of Social Policy
Bringing together international case studies, this book offers theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers) in the problem definition, agenda setting, policy formulation and implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer examples of policy making from seven different countries and demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the potential of social work for the social policy-making process.
Care and Coronavirus
Arguing that COVID-19 heightened the attention paid to care and the ways in which care is vital for the maintenance of ourselves and the world around us, Care and Coronavirus calls for a reflection on the failures and successes of care during the pandemic and in its aftermath so that we can plan for a more caring future.

Global Reflections on Children’s Rights and the Law
Thirty years after the adoption of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, this book provides diverse perspectives from countries and regions across the globe on its implementation, critique and potential for reform. The book revolves around key issues including progress in implementing the CRC worldwide; how to include children in legal proceedings; how to uphold children’s various civil rights; how to best assist children at risk; and discussions surrounding children’s identity rights in a changing familial order. Discussion of the CRC is both compelling and polarizing and the book portrays the enthusiasm around these topics through contrasting and comparative opinions on a range of topics. The work provides varying perspectives from many different countries and regions, offering a wealth of insight on topics that will be of significant interest to scholars and practitioners working in the areas of children’s rights and justice.

Soziale Arbeit – Begegnung mit Grenzen. Social Work – The Encounter with Borders
Soziale Arbeit als Profession und wissenschaftliche Disziplin arbeitet mit und über Grenzen hinweg: Grenzen zwischen Individuen und Gruppen, zwischen Staaten, Gesellschaften und Kulturen. Soziale Arbeit zwischen Interkulturalität, Transnationalität, Profession und gesellschaftlichem Wandel bringt angesichts aktueller Herausforderungen immer wieder neue Überlegungen und Facetten in den wissenschaftlichen und professionellen Diskurs. Die Autor*innen der hier versammelten deutsch- und englischsprachigen Beiträge sind inspiriert von der Person und dem Werk von Günter J. Friesenhahn. Social Work as a profession and scientific discipline works with and across borders: Borders between individuals and groups, between states, societies and cultures. In view of current challenges, social work between interculturality, transnationality, profession and societal change continues to bring new considerations and facets to the scientific and professional discourse. The authors of the German and English contributions collected here are inspired by the person and the work of Günter J. Friesenhahn.
Professionalitätsforschung in der Sozialen Arbeit
Wie lässt sich professionelles sozialarbeiterisches Handeln beschreiben? Der Begriff „Professionalität“ erzeugt Erwartungen an die Qualität organisierten sozialen Handelns. Der Wissenschaft dient er zur Reflexion und Modellbildung. In den Blick geraten dabei hauptsächlich zweckrationale Aspekte berufsgebundener Tätigkeiten. Unberücksichtigt bleiben oft atheoretische Praktiken und performative Logiken, die die Praxis maßgeblich orientieren und konstituieren, mithin im situativen Vollzug sozialisatorisch wirken. Der Sammelband leistet einen Beitrag zur Rekonstruktion solcher Praktiken.
Child Welfare Removals by the State
Child Welfare Removals by the State addresses a most important (but little-researched) legal proceeding: when the State intervenes in the private family sphere to remove children at risk to a place of safety, adoption, or in other forms of out-of-home care. It is an intervention into the private family sphere that is intrusive, contested, and a last resort. States' interventions in the family are decided within legal and political orders and traditions that constitute a country's policies, welfare state model, child protection system, and children s position in a society. However, we lack a cross-country analysis of the different models of decision-making in a European context. This text aim...
Dialectics, Power, and Knowledge Construction in Qualitative Research
This book is about going beyond dichotomy. The research literature in social sciences is full of apparent dichotomies such as the dichotomy between: qualitative and quantitative approaches; "reality" and "multiple-realities"; ontology and epistemology; researchers and participants; the right and wrong conduct of research; and sometimes even between the goals of research and the ethics of research. Throughout the book, it is shown that adopting a dialectical approach, which attempts to integrate apparent contradictions and opposites at a higher level of abstraction, may serve as a way out of the twin horns of such dilemmas. To begin this journey, the authors start with the classical dilemma o...
