| Title: | | International Social Work | | Type: | | Electronic Journals | | URL: | | http://isw.sagepub.com/ | | Description: | | International Social Work is a scholarly refereed journal designed to extend knowledge and promote international exchange in the fields of social work, social welfare and community development. It is the official journal of the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW) and the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW).
The major focus of International Social Work is on the interaction between processes of globalisation and the development of social welfare at national level, as well as social work and community development locally. It aims to examine the meaning of international social work in practice and theory, and to explore how those concerned with social work and community development can engage with international issues. In addition, the journal aims to promote dissemination of material from cross-national research.
International Social Work provides information on current international developments in policy, practice, education and research relevant to social work, social welfare and community development. In addition to full-length articles, the journal features shorter "brief notes" contributions, as well as specific regional perspectives, international legal notes, news and views from the owner associations (IASSW, ICSW and IFSW) and a book review section covering recent publications. Abstracts of full-length articles are translated into French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic. | | ISSN: | | 0020-8728 | | Access Type: | | Open Access | | Publisher: | | Sage | | Subjects: | | Social Policy
