Description

Experts from around the world fill a major gap about 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, Argentina), Europe (United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, Central/Eastern Europe, Russia and the Republics), Africa (Africa, Zimbabwe, South Africa), the Middle East (the Middle East and Egypt, Israel), and Asia and the Pacific (Asia/Pacific, Australia, India, Bangladesh, Japan, China). This reference guide also considers social work education from a comparative and global perspective in terms of current problems and programs and future prospects. Social workers, educators, academics, and professionals will gain from the country studies, international overview, and lengthy bibliographies.
