Abstract Professional social work was established and expanded in a historical moment marked by intense nation-building; it was organized along and in parallel with other welfare state services which functioned to strengthen the nation-state. Today social work is at practice in a society marked by intensified globalisation; social needs and social problems that social workers are confronted with in their professional practice are sometimes transnational in their dynamics and cannot adequately be understood when limited to a local or national context. Drawing on insights from the transnational perspective, this article identifies challenges and ways ahead in the development of social work practice and theory with relevance for the globalised society. It argues that the transnational perspective can contribute to the dissolving of binaries between both ‘here’ and ‘there’, and ‘us’ and ‘them’ in social work, and pave the way for approaching social problems from a relational viewpoint beyond ‘given’ territorial and ethnocultural lenses.

从跨国主义的角度概念化社会工作:

摘要职业社会工作的建立和扩展是在一个激烈的国家建设的历史性时刻。它是与其他旨在加强民族国家的福利国家服务机构并驾齐驱地组织的。如今,在全球化加剧的社会中,社会工作正在实践中。社会工作者在其专业实践中面临的社会需求和社会问题有时在动力学上是跨国的,如果局限于当地或国家背景,就无法充分理解。本文从跨国视角中汲取了见识,并指出了与全球化社会相关的社会工作实践和理论发展中的挑战和前进的方向。
