SOCIAL WORK AND POLITICS
Politics for Social Workers
When Governments Fail
A Practical Guide to Effecting Change
A Pandemic and Its Aftermath Edited by Vikas Rawal, Jayati Ghosh, and C. P. Chandrasekhar
Stephen Pimpare
This book is a concise, accessible guide to help social workers understand how politics and policy making really work—and what they can do to help their clients and their communities. It offers informed, practical grounding in the mechanics of policy making and the tools that activists and outsiders can use to take on an entrenched system.
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated human suffering and economic devastation—but these reflect not just the impact of the disease but also the policy failures of governments. This volume brings together analyses of the responses from many different countries to evaluate what has worked and what hasn’t—and potential directions for the future.
