Jansson’s BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE POLICY ADVOCATE teaches you the ins and outs of conducting policy-practice in order to prepare you to implement policy reform during your own career. The seventh edition’s coverage includes discussion of such events and issues as Barack Obama’s presidency, the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Arab Spring, and more. By going beyond the traditional foundational approach to policy, this groundbreaking text helps you develop the skills you need to become an advocate for social change.

social work advocacy As a so ial worker I found this book a useful resource. Advocacy has all but become a contact sport as it relates to the promotion of social justice and serving “the least of these”.
its good The book is long and kind of boring for me. Most of the material we learn in the class that requires this book comes from current events not the book. It’s a lot of money for a book I’m hardly using.
For class I have to purchase it for my class so that’s why I am rating it with 3 starts, policy is not my favorite. However the kindle version is much more affordable than any other way!
