The chapters present survey data on the policy involvement of social work academics in different countries and an analysis of this data by country experts. The findings relate to the levels and types of policy engagement of the social work academics, their perceptions regarding this type of activity and the factors associated with this.
This unique perspective on the academia-society nexus is essential reading for academics and students interested in the ongoing debate on the role of academia in policy, particularly those policies dealing with issues of social justice and social change.
Reviews / Votes
"For those seeking to influence policy from social work, the book offers a unique global perspective on both the ways in which this work takes place and the challenge that exists in some of the academia-policy nexus spaces." Social Policy & Administration "This well-researched book throws down a challenge to those who educate social workers to become more political and policy oriented in their own practice. A must read for all academics in this area." Graeme Simpson, University of WolverhamptonMore details
