This dynamic text on human behavior takes a unique international perspective to introduce students to the concepts of large social systems and development. Social workers now practice in an increasingly global context for reasons ranging from migration to international adoptions to developments in technology. Understanding these global connections is essential to social workers today.

Human Behavior in a Just World emphasizes the "common human condition" between people, and encourages students to see the powerful connections between environmental conditions and behavior. The authors address key elements of human behavior through a global lens, and discuss powerful global policy instruments and resources, such as the United Nations. Engaging North American and global case studies illustrate the theories in practice.

Rosemary J. Link is associate vice president of academic affairs, Simpson College, Iowa. She previously served as professor of social work and dean of graduate studies at Augsburg College. Chathapuram S. Ramanathan has worked and taught in the human service area for over three decades and currently heads up the consulting company Human Service Enterprises.
