{"product_id":"social-work-and-the-making-frank-sowa-9781447349150","title":"Social Work and the Making of Social Policy","description":"Bringing together international case studies, this book offers theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers) in the problem definition, agenda setting, policy formulation and implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer examples of policy making from seven different countries and demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the potential of social work for the social policy-making process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Sowa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447349156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447349150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Frank Sowa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43935822512383,"sku":"9781447349150","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d982d8d8-07f9-4b93-8b71-81ef255220f5.jpg?v=1681422008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-work-and-the-making-frank-sowa-9781447349150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
