The fundamental transformations in Europe subsequent to the revolutions of 1989 had a profound impact on social work in terms of raising sharply the profession's relationship with politics. The exchanges between western schools of social work and the emergent academic partner institutions in former Communist countries formed a valuable testing ground for the essential principles and competences of social work in terms of their universal scientific basis on the one hand and their regard for cultural and national values and contexts on the other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this contributed volume focus on lessons derived from fundamental social and political transformations, highlighted by East-West encounters and intra-national divisions, and thereby have important messages for mastering impending transformations in the light of the global COVID-19 health crisis. They demonstrate how cultural and social divisions can be addressed constructively with direct implications for training and practice in dramatically changing contexts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithuanian social work's claim to professional autonomy vs. authoritarianism in popular and political culture \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial work between civil society and the state - lessons for and from Hungary in a European context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Europe's East, West, North and South meet: learning from cross-country collaboration in creating an international social work master programme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNordic-Baltic cooperation in social work researcher education: A Finnish perspective on the impact on scientific, historical and linguistic similarities and differences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntra-national similarities and differences in social work and theirsignificance for developing European dimensions of research and education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial work, political conflict and European society: reflections from Northern Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEuropean Social Work After 1989: East-West Exchanges Between Universal Principles and Cultural Sensitivity \u003c\/i\u003eis an invaluable resource for social work educators; social work practitioners confronted with national and international divisions; students of social work, of social administration and policy; and any policy researcher with a comparative focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Lorenz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303045813X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030458133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Walter Lorenz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073528852735,"sku":"9783030458133","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2bb5358-2df1-4615-8d30-0a417506079c.jpg?v=1685448354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/european-social-work-after-1989-walter-lorenz-9783030458133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
