The article examines the erosion of the political mandate in social work due to juridification, managerialism, and institutional dependency. It argues that the profession is being redefined from a transformative force into an administrative function, leading to 'structural helplessness' among practitioners and a loss of critical capacity to challenge systemic inequality.
