Neoliberalism, Nordic Welfare States and Social Work

As the first book to comparatively explore the role of neoliberal reforms on social work and social policy across Scandinavia, it demonstrates that the traditional image of Scandinavian welfare states as the bastions of an unchangeable social democratic society, ideology and tradition is no longer relevant. By providing analysis of the effects of globalisation, glocalisation, welfare nationalism, symbolic violence, and forced migration, it provides valuable insights into the shortcomings of retreating welfare states in a time of increasing glocal social problems.
