Social Work and Research in Advanced Welfare States

The aim of this book is to exemplify the ways in which social work and research develop in advanced welfare states countries where public spending is relatively high as a proportion of GNP. While such countries have traditionally been associated with Scandinavian countries in particular, and north-western Europe more generally, there are other countries where the public spend on welfare is relatively high.

The various contributors to this book explore and exemplify ways in which social work and research are distinctive for advanced welfare states. This involves exploring their connection to professional identities, histories and welfare systems, their associations with academic, theoretical and cultural traditions of collaboration between academic and social work practice, and the distinctive links with community, national policy, governmentality and agency, with respect to forms of knowledge, discourses and conception of social problems.

Written by contributors who have experience of living and working in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Singapore and the UK, this book speaks throughout about problems, methods, systems and ideas in language that is readily transferable and transcends national boundaries of thought and social work practice. It will be read and understood by social work students across Europe.

Kjeld Hgsbro is Professor of Social Work at the Department of Sociology and Social Work, Aalborg University, Denmark.

Ian Shaw is S. R. Nathan Professor of Social Work at the National University of Singapore, and Emeritus Professor of Social Work at the University of York.
