Abstract

In the 21st Century, the process of globalization continues at a rapid pace, fuelled by improvements in information and communication technology and infrastructure. Very little of what happens in the world is a local event and there is constant interaction between the global and the local. Globalization has also led to a number of complex transnational problems, such as climate change and the global financial crisis, problems that impact most heavily on marginalized communities and individuals in society. In this chapter, the role that community development can play in enabling professional social workers to respond effectively to the impacts of globalization is analyzed. The themes drawn from this discussion are further examined in the context of social work and social work education. The chapter closes with a delineation of Integrated Social Work as an approach to enable future social workers to work effectively in a globalized world.
