This paper argues that there are a number of multi-faceted social processes in progress
today which particularly affect and change the foundations and rules of human social life
developed since the Second World War, and which in this transition scenario must also redefine, reshape and reinstall social work: the radicalisation of modernity is increasing,
the perception of a globaI ecological catastrophe has become consensual, and above all
the end of the 'East-West' constellation as a paradoxial global stabilisation conflict scenario has upset political routines. In this way society has become politicised, which
means that the forms of arrangement, formation, regulation, maintenance and change of
social life itself has (again) become the object, theme and aim of action. Consequently,
in principle new possibilities arise in every context and for every social actor. Against
this background, social work must therefore understand itself as located in principle in a
protopolitical basis constelllation of employers, clients and social workers.Although the traditional position ofsocial workers in this triad becomes problematic, at the same time
it generates opportunities for their emancipation in relation to the interests ofothers and external claims.
