There is much to learn through the international exchange of policy initiatives and program models. “Lessons from abroad”—the knowledge of problem-solving programs in other countries—can be an important component of understanding and addressing social problems in the 21st century United States, inspiring and informing policy action and program development.
Editors Amy Restorick Roberts and M. C. “Terry” Hokenstad bring together top scholars who share their expertise about approaches for understanding and addressing an array of global challenges through policy and practice examples from both developing and developed countries. Chapters examine distinct content areas, such as child welfare, aging, the climate crisis, and forced migration. Other chapters more broadly address global issues directly aligned with the values and professional ethics of social work, including environmental justice, the alleviation of poverty, social security, and community development. One chapter is devoted to the international social welfare treaties and conventions that affect social welfare and social work practice around the world, and the final chapter provides a thoughtful review of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and discusses the 2030 Agenda, examining implementation strategies and the contributions of social work.
Learning Objectives:
Describe how social workers can respond to social problems that are global in scope and impact.
Identify international programs and policies in the areas of environmental justice, child welfare, aging, social protection, global migration, and interpersonal violence.
Compare models of social welfare in other countries that could be useful for policy action and program development in the United States.
Explain global trends in community development to improve the lives of people living in poverty.
Examine the contribution of international treaties and conventions to international social welfare and social welfare in the United States.
