| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The principles of business management have risen to prominence, and the supply of services has become increasingly market-focused, treating citizens as service users, consumers and clients. Under such circumstances, responsibilities for social justice and equality in social work have declined. Mainstream social work has been more recently fixated on objectives like maintaining and conforming to the existing order rather than reforming the system, and it rarely adopts viewpoints that serve to reduce the various problems created by distorting the social structure.
This was the context under which the ideas of critical social work were tested from the three following perspectives: (1) a structural analysis that describes the broad political understanding of individual experiences of oppression; (2) the goal of achieving social justice that overcomes exploitation and removes dominance and oppression; and (3) the ideas of critical theory, post-modernism and post-structuralism.
