Planning School Transition Through Relational Influence in Chinese Families
Building on the relational approaches, particularly social relational theory, this study investigates how Chinese adolescents plan their transition to post-compulsory education through relational influences between themselves and their parents.

Frontline, the brainchild of a former teacher, locates social work training within local authorities (‘the agency’) rather than university social work departments (‘the academy’) and has stimulated debate amongst social work academics about their role in shaping the …
The Present Finnish Formation of Child Welfare and History
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the nature of Finnish child welfare as a strategy of social control.

The article problematizes child welfare in the present and illuminates its current formations by recourse to the past. Since Finnish child welfare has developed in connection wit…
Social work and Nordic welfare policies for children—present challenges in the light of the past
The aim of this article is to explore welfare policies for children in five Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden—and in that context identify what kinds of issues and challenges social work is currently facing. The data reviewed consist of policy documents, law texts, official reports, statistics, professional texts, and previous research. Policies and laws on children's protection; provisions, including policies on state…
The contemporary reconstruction of finnish social work expertise
Reflexivity has been one of the central themes in Finnish social work discussions in the 1990s. It can be seen as an effort to respond to the demands of post-modern society. This article concentrates on analysing fundamental changes in Finnish social work from the viewpoint of current trends in practical social work, academic training, and research practices. This process can be described as a breakthrough of reflexive professional practices comp…
