“…The terms indiginisation, localisation and pluriversification bring together a variety of initiatives, academic debates and theoretical writings in Latin America, Asia and in Africa, adapting post-colonial Social Work to the local problems and requirements in order to establish an international perspective of Social Work. Fundamental positions are found most frequently in the literature on Social Work in Africa (Lutz & Rehklau, 2009;Mupedziswa, 1993Mupedziswa, , 2001Osei-Hwedie, 1996;Osei--Hwedie & Jacques, 2007;Walton & Abo El Nasr, 1988b).…”

The article explores the internationalisation of social work from a historical point of view to Indigenous approaches and discusses the concepts of indigenisation, authentication and reconceptualisation. It demonstrates the importance of shifting away from the dominant western perspective on knowledge as well as away from the idea of a universal Social Work and focuses on philosophies and approaches of the Global South. Dialogue as praxis, enablement, and empowerment as well as translation and an ethnological view as methods of internationalisation of Social Work are emphasised. Subsequently, perspectives of Radical as well as Green Social Work and postcolonial feminist approaches within the profession are presented, which can contribute to a desired interwoven, mutually supporting Social Work. The outlook shows the importance of international and cross-cultural exchange between social workers. It emphasizes on sharing of and learning about local methods and practices from other parts of the world, to develop common ideas. In this context self-reflection of the profession and social work- ers is crucially value.

“…But it raises new challenges for lecturers as to how to enhance students' intercultural competencies, how to guide them in reflecting on their experiences in order to develop professional skills out of them, and how to speak with authority on issues of globalization, interculturality and strangeness. Studies range across regional settings, highlight the importance of self-reflexive competences and the capacity to establish contact, and mainly explore formats of internship projects or specialization programmes that increase students' cultural awareness and sensitivity for other people's lifeworlds (Feize and Gonzalez 2018;Pawar 2017;Giebeler 2009;Rehklau and Lutz 2009;Nagy et al 2019).…”

The »global« is permanently made and remade by how it is envisioned in political projects, in language, and in literature. Through a range of case studies, this book shows how practices of referring to the world actually constitute the global in its many facets. It aims to provide a sense in readers of how the global is not something »out there«, but that it is embedded in a wide range of the seemingly »everyday«. The contributions appeal to a readership from a background in Sociology, History, Political Science, Literary Studies, and Social Work.

“…In the countries of the Global North, social work started out from historical traditions of religious, neighbourly and moral support, and has developed into a profession (Rehklau & Lutz, 2011). Social work has existed as a profession in Germany since the beginning of the 20 th century.…”

Social Work in Germany developed out of the tradition of assistance for the poor and the youth movement. The two historical fields of social work (Sozialarbeit) and Social Pedagogy (Sozialpädagogik) overlap, and in this contribution they are united under the heading of Social Work (Soziale Arbeit). This contribution offers insights into the historical emergence of Social Work in Germany, its organisational structures, its working methods and the current debate on how to make the German welfare system inclusive. This fundamental structural change is an invitation to the infrastructures of Social Work to undertake critical re-assessment and reflection. The contribution concludes with some ideas on what Social Work could be like if it is led by critical reflection, is self-confident, constantly scrutinises the directions it is taking in the light of its aspiration to produce inclusion and promote autonomy, and if its national and international organisations and global expertise are even more united than before.
