This book examines how the authoritarian regimes of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan exploited the Covid-19 pandemic to consolidate their political control over Central Asia. Through restrictive policies and strategic manipulation, these governments reshaped the region's politics and societies during 2020-2022.

This volume offers readers an insight into three key areas where Central Asia's pandemic power grab was most visible: mobility control, whereby restrictive legislation limited freedom of movement and suppressed dissent; authoritarian information flows, whereby COVID-19-related measures aligned media and digital information to government messaging, further curtailing freedom of expression; and the international politics of the pandemic, whereby the regimes capitalised on global instability to strengthen their kleptocratic hold over Central Asia's politics and society. This book provides a detailed analysis of these strategies, offering a compelling exploration of how crises can be used to entrench authoritarianism.

It is ideal for scholars, students, and professionals in political science, international relations, and Central Asian Studies. The book is also valuable to readers interested in understanding the intersection between public health crises and authoritarian governance.

Apply AI and Psychological Science to reduce health disparities through community-based prevention strategies

Transforming Community Health with Psychology and AI explores how AI can become a powerful ally in working towards healthier, more equitable communities. The book investigates how AI can help us not just find and analyze health-related information, but also understand people deeply in culturally sensitive ways. Rather than replacing human connection with technology, this book envisions AI as a compassionate partner for health workers.

The book begins with the pre-AI period of community-based approaches to health disparities. It then continues with real-world examples and case studies of how communities can use AI technologies to bridge gaps in care, promote mental well-being, and, most importantly, prevent illnesses before they occur. At its heart, this book aims to put humanity back into technology. It asks the audience to imagine if AI tools were designed with compassion, inclusion, and trust as its foundation. The author invites readers to imagine a future where innovation truly serves everyone, offering a hopeful look at how human-centered innovation can heal.

Readers will find:

• Frameworks for implementing AI as a compassionate partner for community health workers serving marginalized populations with limited healthcare access
• Case studies showing how communities use AI technologies to promote mental well-being and prevent illness before it occurs
• Analysis of social determinants, including socioeconomic status, education, employment, housing, and nutrition that drive persistent health disparities
• Guidance on designing culturally sensitive AI tools that understand diverse populations deeply while maintaining human connection and trust
• Strategies for integrating psychological science with technology to create human-centered innovations that serve all community members equitably

Health psychologists, public health practitioners, community health workers, and researchers examining technology's role in health equity will find actionable frameworks that help to create healthier, more equitable communities through prevention-focused, culturally responsive approaches.

This book highlights the expansive and evolving developments of simulation-based learning and research in social work education and practice. Simulation-based learning is a deliberate teaching approach that uses structured, interactive, realistic scenarios, with trained actors or staged environments or with virtual or technology-enhanced platforms, that replicate real-world practice situations. These immersive experiential opportunities allow learners to develop and practice skills, receive feedback, reflect critically, and strengthen professional competencies.

This edited volume brings together leading scholars, practitioners, and educators, showcasing the innovations and emerging advancements in simulation pedagogy. The chapters in this collection explore the diverse simulation modalities used across social work education, including generalist and specialized practice contexts, interprofessional education, and cutting-edge virtual and technological applications. It offers insights into how in-person, hybrid, and fully online simulations expand teaching possibilities, enhances learning and application, and shapes the advancement of simulation-based pedagogy in social work.

This book is a valuable resource for educators, trainers, and practitioners committed to advancing evidence-informed social work education and practice in today's complex and rapidly evolving practice landscape.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in Studies in Clinical Social Work: Transforming Practice, Education, and Research.

Benefit Morale: Social Attitudes to the Welfare State in Poland examines the complex relationship between citizens and welfare systems through the innovative concept of "benefit morale".

This pioneering study analyses how social attitudes influence the effectiveness of welfare programmes, exploring both welfare abuse and non-take-up of benefits within the Polish context while developing a theoretical framework applicable to welfare states globally. The book presents original research through a comprehensive six-chapter structure: establishing a theoretical framework for benefit morale, reviewing existing welfare attitude research, detailing methodology, analysing Polish attitudes toward the welfare state, and examining attitudes toward both welfare abuse and non-take-up. This unique approach combines theoretical innovation with empirical evidence, offering valuable insights into the cultural and socioeconomic factors that shape welfare program effectiveness.

Providing a foundation for international comparative research on benefit morale, this volume serves multiple audiences, including policymakers seeking to improve social programme effectiveness, researchers in sociology and social policy, and students studying welfare systems.

This book analyzes the role of social work in the Americanization movement. It asserts that the emerging field of social work played a significant role in both the execution of the movement and the development and promulgation of theories and processes that rationalized its determination of the borders of inclusion and exclusion from the American nation and its polity.

While the Americanization movement as a national endeavor abated by the mid-20th century, its underlying assumptions still shape contemporary social work and the national discourses of belonging. As the first comprehensive historical study of social work's role in the discourses of immigration, the book fills a significant gap in social welfare history.

This volume introduces an important new field of study for scholars of social work, as well as students and academics of social history, ethnic studies, and political science. It is suitable for courses on social welfare policy, social welfare history, and social work ethics, as well as those studying immigration and the history of ethnic minorities in the U.S.

Much has been written about coaching and mentoring. However, the focus has tended to be on business or professional development, with limited references to young people or youth work. Addressing this need, this unique text combines rigorous research with practical advice to examine coaching and mentoring in youth work, highlighting the purpose of these interventions in supporting the transition of young people from adolescence to adulthood.

Written by an academic and practitioner team, Salter and Jones address deficit-based approaches to coaching and mentoring in youth work whereby funding necessitates that those young people must demonstrate emotional and behavioural difficulties, or poor school outcomes. Prioritising strength-based approaches, this powerful resource demonstrates the power of blended facilitation and direction to better support the specific needs of young people. Equipping readers with the knowledge and skills to know when to offer directive advice and guidance, and when to step back and facilitate a conversation well and allow the young person to take more of a lead, each chapter contributes to building relational approaches for transformative growth. With topics including youth transitions and the importance of diversity, inclusivity and cultural understanding in coaching and mentoring young people, this work also explores how best to set up and run a coaching or mentoring project for young people - ethically and in line with safeguarding standards.

Bridging the gap between coaching, mentoring and youth work, this is a comprehensive resource for students and practitioners working at these intersections.

This book explains the context of disease, wellbeing and medical practices in Africa, and importantly, how these are influenced by religion (including African ways of belief), spirituality, and faith-based institutions, in relation to healthcare practices. By doing so the handbook explores both positive and negative roles of religion, spirituality, and faith-based institutions in individual and communal health. The book investigates how religion as a non-state agency drives the agenda for wellbeing, in the light of Africa having a disease burden of malaria, Tuberculosis, HIV, and sporadic pandemics such as Ebola and more recently, COVID-19. The book also takes a look at how African Indigenous Religions, Christianity, Islam, and other religions in Africa, continue to shape attitudes towards sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly among adolescents, youth and women. It examines poverty as a major determinant of poor health in the continent, and how religion and religious institutions therefore play a crucial role in provision complementary and supplementary healthcare services. And ultimately shows how religion/faith-based institutions and health intersect, as well as how this intersection contributes to Africa's and global development agenda.

An international group of leading and emerging scholars provides wide-ranging analysis of intersectionality from different vantage points in social work. They demonstrate how intersectional thinking, values and knowledge can be applied to social work practice, theory and education and extend the analysis of oppressions, such as racism, sexism, ageism, ableism and heterosexism, in contemporary social work. Drawing on a variety of approaches, from law, policy, sociology and pedagogy, amongst others, the Handbook demonstrates remarkable breadth, and showcases new ways of harnessing intersectionality to explore the experiences of minoritised individuals and groups in welfare and social care systems.

The Handbook is an essential resource for students and academics in social work, sociology and social policy, particularly those with an interest in intersectionality and diversity, equity and inclusion. It is also a valuable read for educators, practitioners and policymakers involved in social work across the globe.

Authors interrogate the definition of poverty and examine the dynamics of poverty and inequality in relation to matters such as race, gender, age, geography and migration status. Chapters explore the rights to housing, health, work, education, protest and access to justice, highlighting the challenges posed by corruption, climate change and new technologies. This second edition provides new research, expands on previous material and raises probing questions about how the status quo of poverty and human rights is defined and perpetuated.

This Research Handbook is a crucial resource for scholars and students of law and development, comparative law and human rights looking for future research avenues. It is also beneficial for legal practitioners working to address poverty in both the Global North and Global South.

This book revisits after about close to 20 years the East Asian Welfare Model when looked at from an ideal-typical perspective. Ideal-typical welfare regimes do not change, in general, quickly, they are stable, due to the higher level of observation applied (using a high-flying bird's or satellite's perspective).

Twenty years, however, are a long time also in welfare state system development. A great deal of mega events and mega trends have impacted on social policy all over the world in these last two decades. These include the Covid 19 pandemic, gender movements, rock-bottom low overall fertility (in the post-industrial setting), global production shifts (a.k.a. globalization of industrial production), and last but not least technological revolution brought upon by super-digitalization and artificial intelligence applications, and information society in general, and with it technological unemployment of a large parts of a whole new generation having become unemployable while they have been highly trained at college and university levels.

It is high time to look at East Asia welfare state systems up close again, and the right theoretical and methodological lens, i.e. applying ideal-typical theory and methodology, to an otherwise not graspable fully dynamic and intertwined phenomenon: continued welfare state growth amidst crises and change.

Exploring the stories of nurses who served Florida's Indigenous communities during the Great Depression and the decades of change that followed

In this intersectional history, Christine Ardalan tells the stories of nurses who worked among the Seminole and Miccosukee people in Florida during the mid-twentieth century. Ardalan profiles three US government field nurses, several public health nurses, and the Seminole practical nurse Betty Mae Tiger Jumper. Ardalan's analysis offers insights into the tensions between the white nurses and their supervisors, cultural differences between them and the communities they served, and the ways they often reinforced settler-colonial ideologies.

Ardalan looks at the work of the US nurses together with that of Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, who led the effort to respect traditional practices alongside government clinical care. Tiger Jumper cemented the healthcare message that the people themselves should determine their own paths toward healthfulness and well-being. The book concludes in 1971, when the Seminole Tribe of Florida assumed control of its health services. The information in this book contributes to the history of nursing and of Florida's Indigenous communities during a period of great change.

Eating and drinking, including the provision of food and the consumption of food, is the biggest industry in the world, and a major contributor to our health, and to our enjoyment. This book on "Eating and Drinking" is the first multi-disciplinary presentation of the whole breadth of research and discussion of the factors that impact eating and drinking, and the factors that eating and drinking impact. The purpose of this book is to familiarize readers with the areas of relevant research and discussion with which they might not be familiar. The multi-disciplinary approach includes the basic and applied sciences (including biology, social science, nutrition, medicine, and food science, as well as the important non-science areas (including history, development, culinary arts, food service, business and marketing). The book ends with a review of current trends and predictions of the future for multiple aspects of eating and drinking.

The first edition of the Handbook was the first attempt to treat eating and drinking in an interdisciplinary way. The only way to understand and solve the complex problems of food and eating is to approach problems considering the many different disciplines that deal with eating and drinking. The 2^nd edition of the Handbook will continue this process, bringing more information into the Handbook.

Patchwork Pandemic is the first ever history of how individual American states responded to the HIV/AIDS crisis-and an eyeopening look at how a fragmented federalist system creates disparities in public health policy.

Public health in the United States has long been rife with inequity due to a federalist system that relies on state and local governments to bear the bulk of the responsibility for addressing crises, as seen in the 1918 outbreak of influenza and, most recently, in the COVID19 pandemic. The HIV/AIDS crisis is a classic example of this enduring problem, though the variation in state responses to HIV has not received the attention it deserves.

Patchwork Pandemic provides the first statelevel history of the AIDS crisis in the United States. It is wellknown that the federal government's response to HIV was painstakingly slow, partly because the disease disproportionately affected stigmatized minorities-especially gay men and IV drug users. Rebuffed at the national level, AIDS activists and policy elites turned to state legislatures to address a host of concerns stemming from the pandemic, including the high cost of drug therapies, the rampant discrimination experienced by those suspected of infection, and the housing and healthcare needs of people living with HIV.

Anchored in case studies of California, Illinois, and Texas, Patchwork Pandemic argues that the states-not the federal government-were at the vanguard of the political and policy response to the epidemic in the 1980s and early 1990s. But this fractured and decentralized system produced a dangerous lack of coordination between different tiers of the United States government, leading to vast geographic inequities in morbidity and mortality rates. As both HIV/AIDS and COVID19 have starkly exposed, pandemics are not merely a function of individual microbes and pathogens; they also reflect how states and governments wield power.

This book examines how disability is shaped by the transformation of modern society, using Zygmunt Bauman's concepts of solid modernity and liquid modernity to understand the changing forms of power, exclusion and moral indifference that disabled people face. Drawing on key debates in disability studies, it offers a new social theory of disablement that centres the lived consequences of order-making, surveillance, moral distancing and time. It positions disablement as essential to the study of society and argues for a future built on dignity, solidarity and the ethics of interdependence, one that leaves behind productivism and is grounded in care.

An invaluable read for academics at all levels as well as students in disability studies, social theory, sociology, and related disciplines, this accessible monograph offers a new theoretical framework to reflect on the disablist character of society.

In order to develop a sustainable social and individual resilience in dealing with crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to jointly determine flexible regulations in relation to common issues. The reactions to subjective, economic and regional changes during the pandemic empirically traced in this study are related to the lifeworld and cultural orientations of the residents. Communities in Styria (Austria) are used as examples to show how communities have coped with the existing supply and infrastructure conditions, and how people in these communities have learned to find a way in the family network, in the neighborhood, in the professional world or in associations, or which aspects were perceived as helpful instruments in the aforementioned lifeworlds.

This edited book centres the experiences of groups and individuals who have historically received little attention in the broader framing of victimology, victims movements and wider society. With a mainstream political discourse underpinned by conceptions of deservingness and idealised constructions of victimhood, many groups and individuals- including sex workers, non-human animals, sexual minorities, families of the convicted, and people from working-class communities are marginalised from important debates. This book provides an intersectional examination of victimisation with a discussion of new and existing forms of victimisation linking to theories. It has four themed sections on: hidden violence and abuse, co-victims and retraumatization, recognizing and restoring hidden and unrecognized victims and non-human victims. It supports the need for greater recognition and understanding of these groups, the ethical implications of current and future policy and practice, and innovations in theory and conceptual debates. It speaks to the disciplines of Sociology, Criminology, and Social Work, and for anyone who works with victims in practice.

This book offers a unique approach to disabled children's views, articulating methodological reflections and experiences from a study conducted with children with diagnoses of autism and their parents. The reader is invited to engage with the ways children reclaim their social agency and multiple ways of knowing, being and becoming, through creative encounters where mattering and autonomy are protected.

Weaving together arts scholarship, art activism, multimodality, critical poetic narrative, and Gramsci's organic intellectualism, the book maps the oppressive systems that dehumanise and stifle disabled children's identities, reshape parenthood and obscure capabilities.

The author addresses the value of creative autonomy, affect and reflexivity in ethical research, disrupting the directive practices that pervade disabled lives. This is an urgent call to question the different ways children's freedom of expression is easily sacrificed, enmeshed in rhetoric, bureaucracy and habit.

The dialogue between the narrative and the artworks opens up diverse channels for recognition, to learn from children, to be present, resist direction, and restore our shared humanness.

Leading international scholars examine how today's welfare states face new challenges, including digitalization, declining administrative capacity, multi-level governance, and changing relationships between the state and society. Addressing key topics such as capacity and resources, the role of emotions, and policy reforms for elder care, the authors illustrate that social policy implementation is a dynamic, interactive process in which rules, resources, professional norms, and power are constantly changing. Offering conceptual tools, empirical analysis, innovative research methods, and comparative perspectives, this Handbook advances research on the application of social policy, presenting new directions and methods for future study.

The Handbook of Social Policy Implementation is a crucial resource for scholars and students of social and public policy, politics, public administration, and sociology. Practitioners employing social policy in welfare organizations, public agencies, advocacy groups, and state governance will also benefit from its valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance.

Chapters explore China's policymaking process, the welfare relationship between central and local governments and changes in key welfare policies, from social security and housing to health and education. Contributors also discuss measures implemented for special welfare issues, including poverty, migrant workers, left-behind children, mental health measures and digital technology in health services. The Handbook demonstrates how China has reduced poverty and increased opportunities for the general public to access medical services, while also highlighting demand for greater reduction in regional inequalities.

The Handbook on Social Policy in China is a crucial resource for scholars and students in social policy, health and social care. Its valuable insights into socio-economic conditions in China and government measures to tackle inequalities, will also appeal to policymakers and welfare practitioners.
