Abstract

Through this article, claiming the relevance of the exercise of interdisciplinarity, a theoretical/ methodological strategy is exposed to venture into what we consider as a relationship or reciprocal incidence between the discipline of Social Work and the theory and politics of regional development. At the same time, it is recognized that there can be two-way complementarities and links between the two, since the Social Worker requires –in their training  and professional practice– development studies and other knowledge and tools that help to inscribe and contextualize the social issue and its problems in the territory, as a sociohistorical construction endowed with an unbalanced and uneven dynamics that merits the promotion, participation and social intervention exercised by this professional. It is precisely these actions, skills and abilities that will help you to contribute - after taking advantage of your solid theoretical / methodological and instrumental training - in the design and adoption of local / regional development projects that require awareness of social problems, as well as from a dialogue with other professionals and specialists.
