International Social Development: Canadian Social Work Experiences and Perspectives

This compilation presents a variety of contemporary theoretical ideas and viewpoints that influence international social development. Drawing from real-life social workers in areas like Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, 'International Social Development' unites scholars actively involved in global social development efforts focused on tackling poverty, gender inequality, sustainable livelihoods, and food security. As the first of its kind in Canada, this book helps students cultivate critical knowledge, learn strategies to overcome post-colonial attitudes, and develop essential practical skills for social work in our increasingly interconnected world.
