Stifled Progress - International Perspectives on Social Work and Social Policy in the Era of Right-Wing Populism, Paperback / softback Book

Stifled Progress - International Perspectives on Social Work and Social Policy in the Era of Right-Wing Populism Paperback / softback

Edited by Dr. Joerg Fischer, Kerry Dunn

Paperback / softback

Description

Social work as a democratically constituted profession committed to human rights is currently facing cross-border encroachments and attacks by right-wing populist movements and governments.

With the Bundestag elections in September 2017, the question of the extent to which right-wing populist forces succeed in influencing the discourse with xenophobic and nationalist arguments arises in Germany, too.

The authors examine how social work can respond effectively to nationalism, exclusion, de-solidarization and a basic skepticism about science and position itself against this background.

The book explores different conditions in Germany, France, Poland, Russia and the US.
