International Perspectives on Social Work and Political Conflict
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-08728-3 (ISBN)
The first part of this book includes four chapters that summarise the existing knowledge base. The second part focuses on a case study of Northern Ireland where, for the first time, a detailed examination of the social work role was completed which involved researching the views of social work practitioners, managers and educators. Part three then draws together international experts in the field who have written chapters on those regions where social workers have been dealing with long standing periods of political conflict.
At a time when violent conflagrations are currently a feature of many countries and regions across the continents of the world, this book offers a critical view of the social work role in these contexts and should thus be considered essential reading for all social work academics, students and professionals working in conflict-affected societies.
Joe Duffy is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Queen’s University where his research concentrates on the involvement of service users/social work clients to help social work students understand difficult topics such as the impact of political conflict and trauma.

In New York University, his research specifically focused on working with survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001.
