This Handbook explores the current dynamics, threats, and opportunities of social work education in terms of its origin, growth and development within different regions and political regimes. The book aligns with overarching contemporary themes such as changing governance structures around the world; digitalization and globalization; and decolonization and also in line with the advancement of global agendas for social work and social development led by the IASSW, ICSW & IFSW. This contemporary text engages comprehensively with diverse political systems across the world and explores the interactions with, and implications for social work policy, practice, and education in these countries and globally. Contributions in this handbook encompasses multiple and diverse voices from the social work fraternity in the Global North and Global South in discussing the policies related to social work education, current social work practice and challenges in social work educational program delivery. While the most appealing feature of this handbook is the range of countries and political systems covered, it also exclusively looks into the role of ' Power' and the 'Politics' within the context of social work education and how policies are reimagined in social work education and practice.
