This groundbreaking book both explains and expands the growing debate on ecological (environmental) social work at the global level. In order to achieve this, the book strengthens the environmental paradigm in social work and social policy by undertaking further research on theoretical and conceptual clarification as well as distinct reflections on its practical directions. Divided into five parts: concepts; the impact of environmental crises; sustainable communities and lifestyles; food politics; and the profession in transition, this work’s main objective is to place ecological social work as a part of the more comprehensive and interdisciplinary eco-social transition of societies towards sustainability, balancing economic and social development with the limited resources of the natural environment. By focussing on these five core concepts, it shows how social work and social policy contribute to this transition through having a research-based approach and orientation on solutions rather than problem analysis.The book will be of interest to scholars from a broad range of disciplines, including those in social work and social policy, sustainability, economics, agriculture and environmental studies.

Current debates around participation and marginalization dominate the agenda of many European political forums. There is an increasing concern about the stability of social cohesion and a growing number of particular groups of people who are regarded as being at risk of being socially excluded or marginalized. This volume goes beyond the surface of public discussions to look at the central role played by welfare services in European societies in either strengthening or hindering participatory citizenship and democracy. In current discussions welfare services - understood in a broad sense - are centrally positioned: there are high expectations that welfare services can hinder marginalization and enable participation. Yet marginalization is, in most cases, rooted in the deeper structures of society, with economy, participation and involvement dependent on political or highly personal factors, which are beyond the scope of welfare services. This groundbreaking volume posits that participation and marginalization are ’twin’ concepts, expressing opposing sides of one and the same processes faced by individuals and communities. It will be essential reading for social workers, sociologists and policy-makers throughout Europe.

Aikuissosiaalityö on yhteiskunnallisesti merkittävä kenttä, jota ajankohtaiset ilmiöt työttömyydestä maahanmuuttoon muovaavat. Aikuisten parissa tehtävällä työllä on välillisiä vaikutuksia myös lapsiin ja vanhuksiin.Teos tarjoaa tutkittua tietoa aikuissosiaalityön keskeisistä ilmiöistä. Se esittelee kokonaisvaltaisen teoreettisen mallin, jonka avulla voidaan tulkita ja kehittää aikuissosiaalityön vaikuttavuutta. Analyysin kohteena ovat aikuissosiaalityön yhteiskunnallinen konteksti ja asiakkaiden elämäntilanne, moniammatillinen ja asiakkaan oma toimijuus, työn sisältö eli interventiot sekä mekanismit ja vaikutukset.Aikuissosiaalityö on suunnattu erityisesti sosiaalityön ammattilaisille, tutkijoille ja opiskelijoille, minkä lisäksi se toimii yleisempänä läpileikkauksena tästä yhteiskuntapolitiikan alueesta. Teos herättelee myös keskustelua tulevaisuuden aikuissosiaalityöstä ja sen asiakkaiden asemasta suhteessa yhteiskunnan eriarvoistaviin rakenteisiin.
