48 Int'l Soc. Work 5 (2005)

handle is hein.journals/intsocwk48 and id is 1 raw text is: International Social Work 48(1): 5-7p Sage Publications: London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi DOI: 10.1177/0020872805048704 Editorial It is with great pleasure that I introduce this first issue of 2005 in my new role as Editor-in-Chief. I bring to the task experience of editorial work in other journals, as well as many years' involvement in social work practice, education and research (including exchanges and other cross-national activities) and an enthusiasm to explore and promote ideas and practices associated with international social work. Formal tributes have already been paid to my predecessor, Professor Frank Turner, and I should like to add my appreciation of his long commitment to the journal and to the values of inter- nationalism. To some extent his influence will continue - at least in the early stages of my editorship - as we publish articles accepted under his stewardship. We hope that the move to six issues per year will enable us both to publish more quickly articles already in the pipeline and to promote new material. I am also pleased that the sponsoring bodies (IASSW, ICSW and IFSW) and publishers have agreed to the appointment of a Deputy Editor, Professor Vishantie Sewpaul, from South Africa, and we look forward to working together and with others to further develop the journal. I should say at this point that, consistent with past practice, we aim to promote a broad understanding of social work, as reflected in the definition recently agreed by two of the journal's sponsoring bodies (IASSW and IFSW)* and also to recognize the relevance of related concepts and activities, perhaps more familiar to some members of ICSW and other readers. We therefore welcome contri- butions from a wide range of stakeholders, including those who have as yet had only a limited voice in social work journals. We hope that the journal will increasingly provide a focus for identifying the impact of globalization on the welfare sector, specifically in the field of social work and community development; for exploring the meaning and forms of 'international social work'; and for pre- senting studies and accounts which reflect regional and cross- national perspectives.
