„Aktivierung und workfare“ Arbeitsmarktpolitische Herrschaftsinstrumente in der flexibilisierten Wirtschaft

Abstract

Workfare, which makes unemployment benefits depending on some labour of the unemployed, and activation of the unemployed are analyzed as complementary measures strengthening some tendencies of labour markets. Workfare and acitvation have their origins in a special practice of neoliberalism: the transfoming of „slack“. In this process different forms of pressure are important, but sometimes it is difficult to realize the point, where pressure begins.
