Abstract: Proceeding the assumption that the crisis of Fordism has led to a new regime of rationalisation which can be characterised by a market-oriented mode of production this article argues that the three major trends of development within the area of policies on performance - precarisation, standardisation and subjectivation - should not be seen as different or even rival interpretations of the current developments but rather as contradictory but stIll mterrelated elements of the process of "marketisation"o Therefore, a critical labour policy needs to address all of the three trends and to combine a perspective of resistance with a strategy of appropriation of the new forms of market-oriented control.
