Introduction - analytics of power and politics for social work: introduction to the handbook

The Routledge Handbook for International Critical Social Work (ICSW) provides a systematic guide to the leading traditions, innovations and international trajectories in critical social work. With the publication of this new Routledge ICSW Handbook comes an opportunity to further demonstrate the richness, diversity and innovation of critical scholarship and research in social work across the globe. Critical social work is increasingly involved in a global conversation, hence the rationale for including “international” in the handbook title.
