The profound changes in the labour market during the 1980s are
examined in this book in relation to the ideas of flexible
specialization and the "flexible firm" and Marxist regulation
theory, supplemented by fresh empirical evidence concerning changes
in the labour process. Three related concepts have emerged around
which there has been a dramatic crystallization: Fordism,
post-Fordism and, supposedly linking the two, various
manifestations of economic flexibility. There has been, it is
suggested, a profound change in the labour process towards the
"flexible worker" and in the labour market towards a "flexible
workforce". Three approaches to explain these changes are
especially important and provide the major focus for this book:
Marxist regulation theory; the notion of flexible specialization
associated with the "new" institutional economics; and the model of
the flexible firm derived from the managerialist literature. In the
book, the diverse claims made by these three approaches are subject
to empirical and theoretical investigation and their wider
implications are examined in relation to emerging patterns of work
in advanced societies.
