Deconstructing Flexicurity and Developing Alternative Approaches
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.

Ambos procesos se analizan como las dos caras de la misma moneda, esto es, como las dos caras de la disociación o ruptura producida entre, por una parte, la universalidad de la lógica individualista, acumulacionista y utilitarista del mercado capitalista global y, por otra parte, el pluralismo de la lógica identitaria y fragmentada de las actuales relaciones sociales y culturales; todo lo cual está produciendo unos específicos conflictos multiculturales propios de la globalización.
