Popis: This book offers a unique approach to theoretical concepts and practical examples around the topic of international social work in the context of war and conflicts. The reader gains knowledge about the competences and the role of social work, which contribute to mitigating the effects of war and conflict. The book raises the question how to connect international social work with local approaches and offers suggestions for a development of social work with a view to exchanging knowledge and experience between the so-called Global North and Global South, the West and the East. The role of social work in reducing the problem of gender-based violence and the methods of peacebuilding processes in post-war and post-conflict societies are also discussed.
