‘A World to Win’: In Defence of (Dissenting) Social Work—A Response to Chris Maylea
This article is a response to Chris Maylea ’s lively call to ‘end of social work’. Whilst welcoming the publication of his polemic, I maintain that there are substantial problems with his lines of analysis. Problematic facets of his article are enmeshed with questions of timing, tonality and positionality. It is also possible to identi fy significant evidential flaws in the bald assertion that social workers present a ‘real threat to people’. What is more, Maylea’s inadvertently risks aiding the project of the neoliberal Right. Critically engaging with the notion that there are ‘four key reasons’ necessitat...

The Micro –Macro Nexus: Rethinking the Relationship between Social Work, Social Policy and Wider Policy in a Changing World
AbstractTo remain relevant in a rapidly changing society, social work must ensure that policies respond timeously and justly to mitigate the impact of continuous change on individuals, families, communities and the wider society. This requires rethinking social work ’s role in shaping policy in a broader context to address a new order, going beyond social welfare and social policy. In this conceptual article, the authors argue that to be relevant in the twenty-first century, social work has to adopt a transformative social policy approach, including policy ad vocacy. Furthermore, social work should contribute to policy t...

Social Policy and State –Community Relationships: Storm over Forest Rights in India
AbstractSocial Policy is concerned with minimising poverty and inequality through redistribution of goods and services. In the twentieth century, after the Second World War, European parliamentary democracies enlarged its ambit by making social policy an important instrument to create equality setting the benchmark for other countries. For the new independent countries in the global South, such as India, social policy followed different trajectories. In the aftermath of independence, India relied on preventive instruments to address the effects of famine, de-industrialisation and high levels of deprivation. Despite achievi...

Challenges in Social Policy Making for Psychiatric Disability in India: Lessons and Way Forward for Social Workers
AbstractSocial workers have been influential policy makers due to their understanding of the sociocultural –political scenario of the state and core social work values of social justice and social change. In India, the engagement of social workers in policy and political change has been restricted due to various internal and external work challenges. The authors in this article present two case studies of challenges faced by social workers in policy making in India. In the first case, the social worker dons the role of a change agent for setting up a social welfare system based on policy practice for persons with psychia...

Social Work and the Changing Context: Engagement in Policymaking
Social work ’s prime responsibility is to engage with people and structures to address life challenges and enhance well-being in order to further social change, social development, social cohesion, empowerment (and liberation) of people. Engaging with people and structure requires an in-depth understanding of the local environment and the policy frameworks. Local environment such as resources, ecological community, and network of relationships between people is not static and social, economic, cultural and policy frameworks too change rapidly. The environment and frameworks within which social work prof essionals work an...
