Summary/Abstract: The issue is dedicated to the Challenges of Glocal Social Work Education, Practice and Research. There are recognised the implications of both global and local challenges for developing social work services, practices, research and education in Romania. Additionally, the issue is completed with eight more articles from professionals with concerns around this topic. Although social works is still essentially a ‘local’ activity – in the sense that its form and functions are determined by local conditions and actors, the social work profession is increasingly challenged to understand the global context – economic, environmental and political – within which national welfare provisions, including social work services, must be developed and delivered. Hence the relevance to social work of the term, ‘glocal’, in which both global and local elements are present with varied implications for local policy makers, practitioners, educators and researchers.
