Con i Quaderni del Csal, supplementi della rivista Visioni LatinoAmericane, il Centro studi per l’America Latina (Csal) vuole ampliare la sua proposta editoriale.
Quaderno, nel suo significato etimologico, sta ad indicare un foglio piegato in quattro, un taccuino su cui si appuntano note e memorie per ricordare i passaggi sa lienti di quello che si è detto, o che si vuole dire, e di quello che si è fatto, o che si vuole fare.
È questa la funzione che noi vorremmo avessero i Quaderni del Csal: da una parte essere uno strumento agile di discussione, che miri agli aspetti essenziali del dibattito in corso con approfondimenti e riflessioni su tematiche specifiche riguardanti l’America Latina nelle sue relazioni con il mondo; dall’altra un documento in diveni re, aperto a contributi successivi e mai definitivi, di studiosi e cultori delle questioni latinoamericane nel loro intrecciarsi con le dinamiche globali.

La educación del trabajo social en Chile: hacia un siglo de historia
(EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2015)
Vidal Molina, Paula
The author provides an overview of the history of social work education transformation in Chile. Starting from the paradigmatic analysis of organizations such as the Escuela de servicio social of the University of Chile, the author explores the orientations of social work schools in 1925 to 1960, 1960 to 1973 and 1973 to 2012. The structural reforms introduced by the military dictatorship had important implications for the most prominent Chilean public university and this is best studied through a historic lens which explores the origins, the changes that occurred between 1960 and 1973, and neoliberalism. All these influences have permeated social work education in Chile for almost 90 years.

Social problems and social work in Russia
(EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2015)
Pervova, Irina L.
The previous soviet contract between the state and the citizen was based on the obligation of the state to provide care for its citizens, but Russian citizens still have their expectations of the state-supported social services. In the sector of welfare services and care, in Russia significant developments have occurred since the late 1980s. Social services and the training of qualified social workers are key elements in these developments. A number of social services, social centers, social work specialists have appeared in the last two decades. Higher education training for social workers is a major contributor to these achievements. According to the current legislation, the recipient of social services in Russia is a person or a family in a difficult life situation, defined as a circumstance that contravenes or may damage the livelihood of a citizen (family) and requires professional support and assistance.

Social work in South Africa: context, concepts and some critical reflections
(EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2015)
Engelbrecht, Lambert K.
;
Strydom, Marianne
South Africa adopted a social development approach towards social welfare after the first democratic elections of the country in 1994. On a continuum of social service delivery, the primary target group is the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable people. It appears however after two decades of democracy, that social development, as intended in government policies, differs drastically from practice realities. However, strengths imbedded in the social work profession throughout the history of South Africa are shielding social workers from despair and disillusionment that may erode their pride and professionalism.
