| Description: | In summary, this is a book about change – in this case change of significant dimensions in the institution of welfare. The various developments discussed in Part 1 are presented not to frighten readers into abandoning social work as a constructive and desirable occupation, but to underscore the notion that social workers collectively and individually should not be passive and uncritical recipients of policy and management prescriptions developed by others. Rather, social workers should enter the field in all of its varied locations as knowing actors, well aware of what is occurring and why. Such social workers will also, I hope, be sufficiently critical of our own project to move it forward in positive ways. This, I suggest, is the fundamental challenge posed by the new institutional order of welfare. |
