In recent years, the concept of flexicurity has come to occupy a
central place in political and academic debates regarding
employment and social policy. It fosters a view in which the need
for continuously increasing flexibility is the basic assumption,
and the understanding of security increasingly moves from social
protection to self-insurance or individual adaptability. Moreover,
it rejects the traditional contradictions between flexibility and
security, blending the two into a single notion and thus
depoliticizing the relationships between capital and labour. This
volume provides a critical discussion of the flexicurity concept,
the theories upon which it is built and the ideas that it transmits
about work, unemployment and social justice. It shows that
flexicurity fosters the further individualization of social
protection, an increase in precariousness and the further weakening
of labour in relation to capital. The authors present a series of
alternative theoretical, normative and policy approaches that
provide due attention to the collective and political dimension of
vulnerability and allow for the development of new societal
projects based on alternative values and assumptions.
