Social work as a democratically constituted profession committed to human rights is currently facing cross-border encroachments and attacks by right-wing populist movements and governments. With the Bundestag elections in September 2017, the question of the extent to which right-wing populist forces succeed in influencing the discourse with xenophobic and nationalist arguments arises in Germany, too. The authors examine how social work can respond effectively to nationalism, exclusion, de-solidarization and a basic skepticism about science and position itself against this background. The book explores different conditions in Germany, France, Poland, Russia and the US.

Der seit der Finanzkrise im Jahr 2008 und der seit dem Jahr 2015 zunehmenden Migration zu beobachtende grenzübergreifende Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus stellt grundlegende Werte und Prinzipien der Sozialen Arbeit wie Integrität, Menschenwürde und soziale Gerechtigkeit infrage. Um mögliche Handelungsansätze zu diskutieren, beschäftigt sich dieser englischsprachige Sammelband mit internationalen Perspektiven der Sozialen Arbeit und der Sozialpolitik auf die rechtspopulistischen Tendenzen.- Soziale Arbeit, 10/2019
