Chapter 1. Welfare State Reforms and Their Implications for Social Work in Central and Southeast Europe -- Chapter 2. The Austrian Welfare State - a Halfway House -- Chapter 3. Social Policy and Social Work in the Czech Republic: Partners at Fragile Times -- Chapter 4. The Politics of Welfare - From Rights to Obligations: The Case of Slovenia -- Chapter 5. Social Work and Social Policy in Croatia in Times of Continuous Reforms and Crisis -- Chapter 6. Three Decades of Post-Yugoslav Tranformation(s) of Social Policy and Social Work in Serbia - Still Between Uncertainty and Failure -- Chapter 7. Social Policies and Social Services in North Macedonia: Between Ideology and Reality -- Chapter 8. Social Welfare Policy and Social Work in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina -- Chapter 9. Social Protection in the Republic of Srpska: Conditions, Challenges and Reforms -- Chapter 10. Toward a Post-Crisis Welfare State in Central and Southeast Europe: Challenges and Perspectives.

This book provides a picture of recent developments in social policy and social work in Central and Southeast Europe, especially trends after the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated significant welfare modifications. Through a comparative method, the book draws analytical conclusions about the interdependence between welfare state reforms and social work practices in Central and Southeast Europe and provides an overview of future perspectives regarding social policy and social service provision in this region. The book covers four EU member states (Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Croatia) and three EU candidate countries (North Macedonia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) By critically contextualising existing welfare state categorisations, the book aims to examine the link between the welfare state reforms and implications for social work in Central and Southeast Europe. The country-based chapters of this contributed volume: outline the context in which social policy and social work have developed and map the main changes in the welfare state since the transition from socialism; elaborate the country-specific welfare state discourse and discussions, which through literature review depict the conceptual debates about the welfare state, social justice, equality, poverty, entitlements for cash transfer and services, privatization, and accessibility; indicate the key challenges in social policy and social work; and provide indications about the future perspectives of social policy and social service provision. Social Work and Social Policy Transformations in Central and Southeast Europe addresses the scarcity of literature on social policy and social work in this region. The book is primarily intended for social policy researchers and scholars, and students in social work, social policy, political science, and sociology. It is an invaluable resource for researchers from all fields of social sciences and should provoke wider academic and professional interest. "The common themes of transformation, restructuring and crises, synthesized in excellent Introductory and Concluding chapters, make the book an essential source for an understanding of contemporary policies and practices, the complex role played by historical legacies, and offer a model of what a comparative policy approach should look like". -Paul Stubbs, Senior Research Fellow, The Institute of Economics, Zagreb, Croatia.
