Description

Explore the changing landscape of welfare systems in Western countries with Social Work in a Corporate Era: Practices of Power and Resistance. This volume from the Contemporary Social Work Studies series examines how market relations have moved into the realm of social services. As risk management becomes a dominant force in how state providers respond to parents and children, new technologies are introduced to measure these vital relationships. This book examines the rise of bureaucratic control and the simultaneous reduction of available resources. It provides a deep look at how these shifts impact the traditional role of the social worker, moving away from supportive client encounters toward new professional standards. This text is a necessary resource for understanding the modern pressures and structural changes facing social work professionals today.
