Summary

In this collection, indigenous scholars provide history and analysis for the social welfare systems of Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Micronesia, Samoa, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Vastly understudied in current social work literature, these nations offer critical insight into the successes and failures of NGOs, political institutions, and traditional responses to a range of social work concerns. Sharlene Furuto complements these essays with a comparative analysis of the evolution of social welfare in each of these countries, concentrating on the similarities and differences between indigenous approaches, institutional and non-governmental organization involvement, the status of the social work profession, the availability and quality of social work education, the success of Asian Pacific Island models, and various paradigms and templates. Designed as both a textbook for courses in international social work, multicultural issues in social work, and social welfare, and as a reference for academics and practitioners, this volume has profound implications for social work education and practice.
