Flexicurity - an open method of coordination at the national level?
Year: 2009
Type: preprint
Abstract: "Flexicurity" is the name given by international actors to political strategies aiming to (and pretending to) reconcile often contradictory goals. Instead of superficial comparisons of national strategies bundled up into general categories like "flexicurity" or "activation", it is possible to use comparative field work and see how international notions - supposedly testimony of a process of 'Europeanization' - are actually used and dealt with within national settings of actors. The comparison is made between France and Denmark. It shows that each group of national actors within their specific structure of constraints inherited from the past used the political notion of flexicurity during the early 2000s and what were some practical consequences of this use.
