    Social Work

    Critical Social Policy and the Capability Approach

    The (European) welfare state as well as the political space of “the social” is currently being reorganised in a fundamental way. This has major implications for any attempt to contribute to a more just or even emancipatory way of shaping “the social”. The authors discuss what the Capabilities Approach may contribute to this attempt. Rather than assessing the philosophical foundation of this approach, “Shaping the Social” critically discusses the potentials […]

    Enhancing Capabilities

    The volume suggests a capability perspective for evaluating welfare and educational policies. Capabilities are conceptualized as people’s freedom to choose and conduct a life they have reason to value. The contributions analyze what social institutions – in particular in the field of education and welfare – may provide in order to enhance capabilities in particular for most vulnerable people.   The capabilities approach to social justice does not primarily outline […]

The authors suggest a capabilities perspective that calls into question the metric of success of these disciplines and in the fields of politics. It moves the attention away from economic growth and human capital towards autonomy and “agency freedom” of (young) individuals. Especially […]

    Social Work

    What Works – Welches Wissen braucht die soziale Arbeit?

    Eine Neuausrichtung Sozialer Arbeit auf der Basis wissenschaftlich nachweisbarer Wirksamkeitskriterien, wie sie mit dem Modell einer „evidenzbasierten Praxis“ einhergeht, gewinnt auch in der Bundesrepublik zunehmend an Bedeutung. International führende ExpertInnen erörtern in diesem Band die Grundlagen dieses Paradigmenwechsels und führen systematisch in die fachlich heftig umstrittene Debatte ein. Das aus dem englischsprachigen Raum stammende Modell „evidenzbasierter Praxis“ soll es ermöglichen, die Soziale Arbeit strikt an wissenschaftlich nachweisbaren Effekten auszurichten. Nur […]

    Social Work

    Evidence-based Practice – Modernising the Knowledge Base of Social Work?

    The quest to create an evidence-based Social Work practice is emerging strongly in different fields of Social Work and social policy. In this volume internationally renowned proponents and opponents of this approach deliver profound analyses of the meaning and implications of an evidence based perspective which clearly challenges the nature of the knowledge base of the established Social Work practice and apparently reevaluates and reshapes the character of welfare professionalism.
