商品描述

Social work is inherently an international subject. Each nation has a story of professionalization in the evolution of public welfare within its particular settings. A study of various (especially non-Western) cases is essential to an adequate understanding of the undertaking.

China is undoubtedly an important case with the second largest population on earth. It's unique in view of so-called Chinese characteristics/approach/model etc., sometimes fundamentally different from Western societies. It's intriguing given the country's history and recent rise to a global superpower with a claim of core values that seem to be rather considerable to social work as a helping profession. Yet, the nation's rapid social transformation demands a reinterpretation of social work, particularly in relation to public policy and administration. Any lessons learned from the Chinese experiences would help with a better understanding of social work and public welfare on a global scale.

This book is one of a series of projects led by the editor, a forerunner to China's rebuilt professional social work, with a scholarly team from greater China and overseas who are experts in social work and related fields. Its primary audience are scholars and students in Social Work/Welfare/Services, Health and Mental Health, Children/Aging/Women/Family Studies, Public Administration, Social Policy, Community Organizations/Governance, International/Cross-Cultural Studies, and Chinese/China research.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

社會工作本質上是一個國際性主題。每個國家在其特定環境中都有一個專業化的公共福利演變故事。研究各種(特別是非西方)案例對於充分理解這一事業至關重要。

中國無疑是一個重要的案例,擁有全球第二大人口。從所謂的中國特點/方法/模式等角度來看,它是獨特的,有時與西方社會根本不同。考慮到這個國家的歷史以及最近崛起為全球超級大國的背景,這一點令人著迷,因為它聲稱的核心價值觀似乎對社會工作作為一種幫助職業相當重要。然而,該國的快速社會轉型要求對社會工作進行重新詮釋,特別是在公共政策和行政方面。從中國的經驗中汲取的任何教訓都將有助於更好地理解全球範圍內的社會工作和公共福利。

本書是編輯主導的一系列項目之一,這是中國重建專業社會工作的先驅,擁有來自大中華區及海外的學術團隊,他們是社會工作及相關領域的專家。其主要讀者是社會工作/福利/服務、健康與心理健康、兒童/老年/女性/家庭研究、公共行政、社會政策、社區組織/治理、國際/跨文化研究以及中國/中國研究的學者和學生。
