Encouraging outrage in social work: Palestine and Ebola
By advocating the universality of human rights, as in support for Palestinians’ entitlement to self-determination and the need for generous responses to the Ebola epidemic, social workers can improve their advocacy of social justice issues closer to home. By participating in the world-wide, non-violent Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign to end Israel's brutal occupation of Palestinian lands, social workers could enhance their political…

Managerialism in social welfare: Proposals for a humanitarian alternative–an australian perspective
In Australia, New Zealand, and Europe over the past twenty years, control over social work has been nurtured by deregulatory economic policies and by alleged efficient management. A particular form of management practice, called managerialism, has involved doing more with less and treating public-sector agencies as though they were no different from private for-profit corporations. This practice has incurred huge social costs in terms of cutbacks…

Biographies of youth: Implications for empowerment
In accounts of their own powerlessness, young people, mostly homeless and from Sydney, indicated that there is often a period in their lives which is so black that to talk of empowerment is irrelevant, even unhelpful. Beyond that difficult period these respondents suggest confirmation of claims that empowerment goes through different stages and is related to goals of social justice. In order to develop the theoretical basis of these ideas, Jungia…

Economic Rationalism: An Ideology of Exclusion
Policies to rely on market forces instead of government responsibility were effected by techniques of exclusion. Political leaders, senior Federal bureaucrats and the managers of State bureaucracies advocated one version of economics. Critics were ignored or removed. The welfare state was derided and a two tier society encouraged. Only a re‐vitalized politics and economics of social justice can challenge the economic rationalists' promotion of in…
Denial as the Means of Supporting Violence
Violence is embedded in Australian culture. Yet versions of Australian history and claims about what it is to be Australian deny such a record. Such denial guarantees that violence will continue: in the treatment of women, children, indigenous people and other vulnerable groups: and through policies which ignore or legitimate brutal or unfair treatment. The means of replacing violence with non‐violence depends on attaining social justice through …
The Politics of Peace and Conflict Studies: Social work skills affecting organisations' processes, priorities and project outcomes
The creation of a Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies in a large bureaucracy depended on social work skills to combine divergent interests for a common purpose, manage conflict and link personal considerations to global issues. These skills are seen as crucial, not only in negotiations for nuclear disarmament, but also in facilitating personal development and creativity within any organisation
Politicians' and Researchers' Verdicts on Social Work
Experimental research into the effectiveness of social work now shows some encouraging trends, regarding focus, contracts, support and with reference to innovations linking policy to practice. These findings have to be digested in a climate of political pressures which include politicians' desires to control social work, the influence of corporate management practices and the proliferation of helping professions. An appropriate response to resear…

Confused and Confusing: Services for Mentally Handicapped Children
Fifty‐two families with mentally handicapped children under five describe their confusing experiences with a variety of professionals and officials. Such confusion can be explained partly by the reluctance of different agencies and government departments to co‐operate with one another and by the dominance of the medical profession in services for the handicapped. But the main cause of the chaotic health and welfare arrangements lies in politician…
