Why do some cities grow and are prosperous whereas others shrink and decline? VOLKER EICHENER investigates the key factors that determine the development of a city and also suggests a strategy for declining cities to reverse this trend. As he explains in this video, he examined population growth or decline in a given city as well as economic variables, such as industry, age, or social structure and used these data for building a multiple regression model. What he found is rather surprising: a city is either declining or growing but it does not find a balance – in contrast to the prediction of conventional economic theory. Cities are thus bound by a spiral dynamics and declining cities suffer from what Eichener calls ‘shrinking syndrome’. To counter this, he suggests a strategy of ‘active internationalization’ that uses the opportunities globalization offers, such as attracting innovative businesses, international talent and tourism.

This timely book focuses on the long and productive relationship between the Children’s Bureau and the social work community, which has remained a constant since the founding of the Bureau in 1912. Containing a dozen chapters by well-known leaders in the field, the volume traces the interaction of the Bureau with social work education and practice through scope, policy, and leadership changes. The authors document an up-and-down relationship beginning with social worker and reformer Julia Lathrop, the first Children’s Bureau chief one century ago, through the strained relationship that developed during the Reagan administration, to the collaboration over the last 40 years between the Bureau and schools of social work to develop a dynamic training and technical assistance infrastructure throughout the United States.

Inside the pages of this beautifully-presented book are the narratives of twenty women of color who are social work educators in predominantly White systems and institutions. This book brings to life their voices and illuminates their unique experiences as contributors to the betterment of social work education. Each woman’s story is told in her own voice and describes the personal and professional challenges that lead her on the path toward social work education."Educators and aspiring academics of all backgrounds will find this book inspiring and practically useful in their personal and professional lives. Administrators, mentors, and allies will gain invaluable insights into the transformation needed in social work education and the academy to advance diversity and social and economic justice.” —Salome Raheim, former chair, CSWE Commission for Diversity and Social and Economic Justice; associate professor of social work, The University of Iowa"Intersectional theory is brought to reality in this wonderful anthology that weaves the voices of women of color sharing their stories of life as social work educators. Reading this text leaves one with a sense of awe and inspiration and calls one to work to change the unjust structure of higher education that overtly and subtly mute voices of the ‘other’.” —Larry Ortiz, professor and director, MSW Program, California State University Dominguez Hills
