Based on data from 12 diverse societies, this is the first cross-national comparative study on academic engagement in social policy formulation. Chapters present survey data on the policy involvement of social work academics in different countries and an analysis of this data by country experts. This is essential reading for academics and students interested in the ongoing debate on the role of academia in policy.
