Schools of social work and the nature of their foreign collaborations

Article Abstract:

The nature and the extent of the overseas collaborations between the US and foreign schools/programs and also the effect of the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September 2001 on those collaborations are examined. The results show that most social work programs in the US currently do not have collaborative relationships with a program outside the US and the events related to 9/11 appear to have little impact on these relationships.
