Die Transformation des Sozialstaates hat Soziale Arbeit in Europa entscheidend verändert. Die Politik des "Schirms" soll als Mechanismus wirken, der gesellschaftliche Reichtum umverteilt werden. Zentrale Ideen eines sozialen Europas geraten dabei ins Hintertreffen. Die Beiträge zu Kernthemen Sozialer Arbeit in diesem Buch sind verbunden mit den Stichworten sozialpädagogischer Dienst, europäisches Sozialmodell, Kinderschutz, soziale Fürsorge, Institutionsentwicklung, Jugendstrategien, Gegenentwürfe zu Neo-Liberalismus und Ökonomie. Dabei wird deutlich, dass sozialstaatliche Grundlagen und Prämissen in allen europäischen Ländern prekär werden und die Arbeitsbedingungen von Sozialer Arbeit beeinflussen. Ohne eine europäische "Klagemauer" einzurichten, werden wesentliche Aspekteder Sozialen Arbeit in den europäischen Ländern Deutschland, England, Griechenland, Litauen, Österreich, Polen, Schweden, Schweiz, Spanien, Tschechien und Ungarn kritisch diskutiert.
