Asian Social Work and Policy Review

Aims & Scope

There is a growing recognition that major social trends, such as the process of globalization, rapidly changing demography, increasing psycho-social difficulties in individuals and families, growing economic disparities within and between the nations, and international migration, present important challenges for social policies and social work practices in Asia.

It also has become evident that social policy strategies and social work methods must be developed and implemented in the context of Asian region's own histories, cultures, and unique developmental trajectories in order to respond effectively to those emerging challenges.

The Asian Social Work and Policy Review seeks to encourage exchanges of original ideas, rigorous analysis of experiences, innovative practice methods founded on local knowledge and skills of problem solving in the areas of social work and social policy between various countries in Asia.
