Sažetak
In this text, I explore the 'social' in transnational and global terms, including the impact of austerity neo-liberalisms within the EU, in the constructed semi-periphery of South East Europe and in other parts of the world. The starting point is a rejection of the idea that there is a universal, relatively unchanging field or domain called 'social policy' or 'social work', as if those practices which were developed in Northern and Western welfare states after the Second World War have a universal, or global, resonance and relevance. The text seeks to open space for discussion, in the context of climate change, global warming and struggles for ecological sustainability on a planet with finite resources, of the importance of connecting social and ecological policies and practices.
