The process of globalization has implications for human rights, though the relationship between the two is not always clear. How does globalization effect human rights in local contexts? Globalization, Poverty, and Income Inequality examines the relationships between globalization and trade liberalization, and poverty and income inequality, using Indonesia as a case study. This empirically rigorous investigation finds that although increased trade tends to reduce poverty, there are exceptions. For example, globalization via trade in certified organic coffee has not helped low-income farmers. And globalized access to treatments for visual problems has been countermanded by rising digitization that negatively affects the visually disabled poor. Ultimately, the chapters describe an ambiguous relationship between trade liberalization and inequality, both of which can increase or decrease in proportion to one another depending on region and sector. This empirically driven work provides a nuanced view of the trade-poverty relationship, contributing balanced testimony to policy debates being held internationally.

In addition he examines the pitfalls of seeking help for this misunderstood phenomenon. This is a must read for someone recovering from the nightmare that is workplace mobbing and for anyone watching their loved one struggle.

From the writer who brought you a social worker who solves murders (Death in Sioux Lookout) and a psychiatrist who turns into a gorilla to solve a case (The Love Duology) comes another completely original work. In the early eighties a young social worker named Richard Schwindt decided to do something never done before (or since) and satirize his profession. For ten years, writing in OAPSW Newsmagazine Schwindt regaled and horrified colleagues with classics like, “Veterinary Social Work”, “Social Work in Hell” and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, MSW”. These articles remain as edgy and funny now as when they were first published. Some pieces are fun; some are dark but all are unique and the output of an innovative mind.
