Community economic development (CED) is an increasingly essential factor in the revitalization of low- to moderate-income communities. This cutting-edge text explores the intersection of CED and social work practice, which both focus on the well-being of indigent communities and the empowerment of individuals and the communities in which they live. This unique textbook emphasizes a holistic approach to community building that combines business and real-estate development with a focus on stimulating family self-reliance and community empowerment. The result is an innovative approach to rehabilitating communities in decline while preserving resident demographics. The authors delve deep into the social, political, human, and financial capital involved in effecting change and how race and regional issues can complicate approaches and outcomes. Throughout, they integrate case examples to illustrate their strategies and conclude with a consideration of the critical role social workers can play in developing CED's next phase.

"This book explores how lean operates and is adopted in real, corporeal, collective and affective environments of health and social care services. During Lean implementation processes, knowledges, affects, skills and materialities come together in manifold, complex ways. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews and observation, and with empirical and theoretical rigour, the book provides an answer to the question of what happens to care work when processes become 'Leaned'. As in many other fields, the predominantly female health and social care sectors suffer from devaluation in terms of wages and working conditions. The book explores how Lean operates, is adopted and is ultimately lived in this gendered context of work and labour. Moreover, the book situates Lean and related management doctrines in the current mutation of capitalism - that is, biocapitalism - in which bios, life itself, becomes the core of value production. The book adds to the corpus of work, organization and management studies on Lean that have rarely focused on gender, affect or sociomateriality. It provides scholars in Social Science, Management and Gender Studies with a fresh outlook and a cross-disciplinary take on Lean management"-- Provided by publisher.

Wie hat sich Soziale Arbeit zu einer wissenschaftlich fundierten Praxis entwickelt und wie wird sich Soziale Arbeit als Profession zukünftig weiter gestalten? Mit dieser Publikation legt die Autorin erstmalig eine umfassende Rekonstruktion und sozialhistorische Analyse der Entwicklung der Sozialen Arbeit als Profession in Deutschland vor. Die (professions-) soziologisch fundierte Darstellung strukturiert eingehend und in bislang nicht dagewesener Weise die Diskurse in der Literatur zur Sozialen Arbeit. Behandelt wird die Soziale Arbeit in Deutschland und deren mittlerweile über 150jährige Geschichte. Ursprünglich als ,soziale Hilfstätigkeit' (Alice Salomon) konzeptualisiert, lässt sich Soziale Arbeit aus professionssoziologischer Perspektive als Aufstiegs- und Erfolgsprojekt beschreiben, das eher untypisch und in Teilaspekten auch als ambivalent zu bewerten ist. Aufbauend auf die anfänglichen Prozesse der Verberuflichung der Sozialen Arbeit werden ab den 1970er Jahren drei entscheidende Entwicklungsphasen identifiziert. Die Nachzeichnung dieser Entwicklung zeigt, dass Soziale Arbeit seit ihrer Entstehung zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts von einer stets als defizitär erachteten Semi-Profession gar zum potentiellen Trendsetter der künftigen Professionsentwicklung aufgestiegen ist. Das Buch "Soziale Arbeit als Profession" liefert eine theoretische Untersuchung unterschiedlicher Professionsverständnisse und -konzepte in der Sozialen Arbeit im historischen Verlauf. Es zeigt Paradigmenwechsel im Professionalisierungsdiskurs auf und bietet eine Zusammenschau relevanter Professionstheorien. Ein solch fundierter Überblick fehlte bislang für die Soziale Arbeit. socialnet.de, 18.02.2015 Insbesondere für Leserinnen und Leser, die bereits einen ersten Einblick in diese Thematik haben, ermöglicht das Buch eine Vertiefung und Zusammenschau der unterschiedlichen Strömungen und Ansätze. Soziale Arbeit 9/2014 Insbesondere für LeserInnen, die bereits einen ersten Einblick in die Professions- und Professionalisierungsdebatte der Sozialen Arbeit haben, ermöglicht das Buch eine Vertiefung und Zusammenschau der Überschneidungen und Differenzen der unterschiedlichen Strömungen und Ansätze in ihrem geschichtlichen Verlauf. Die Autorin zeigt Chancen, Risiken und Tendenzen der Weiterentwicklung der Sozialen Arbeit von der "sozialen Hilfstätigkeit" hin zu einer selbstbewussten Profession, im Zusammenwirken von PraktikerInnen, Lehrenden und Forschenden der eigenen Profession und Disziplin, im Austausch und in transdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit mit angrenzenden Disziplinen und Professionen auf.
