“…Manis (1972) did a comparative study of fieldwork in developing countries and noted a lack of appropriate training among employees, authoritarian tendencies and managerial nepotism. In connection with an International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) project on curriculum development focusing mainly on African countries, Ankrah (1977) commented that fieldwork should be flexible to allow experimentation, which might include activities such as family planning, community development and institution-building. Students also need to acquire knowledge and skills in functioning at different levels and with members of varied professions.…”

Twenty-five US schools provided international field experience either in agencies dealing with international problems or in foreign countries. There appear to be two primary patterns for making overseas placements. One is through the initiative of a faculty member and the other is through the learning centers in different countries. Students chose field experiences in foreign countries because they were enthusiastic about it. Also, some of them had family, friends or relatives in those countries. The largest deterrent to overseas placements is financial difficulty.

The process of globalisation, that is, the increasing interdependence of world society, is a controversial movement supported by some because of the potential cross-national benefits, but criticised by others because of the fragmented or uneven distribution of those benefits. As many social workers interact with clients who may be affected by globalisation processes, we were interested to investigate their practice views on this topic. Sixty-six social workers completed a questionnaire that explored the relationship between local and international issues. Practitioner responses indicated a strong interest in the topic and widespread agreement that, in their daily practice, there is a link between local and global issues affecting clients. How this perspective is incorporated into practice, however, was not so clear, and there was some variation within the group of respondents. The paper concludes with some suggestions to further enhance the knowledge on this topic among social workers.
