(The abstracted paper is also published in English: Ibid. 2004, Nr 1s(33), pp.37-48). Quality and flexibility are the two most potent mantras of the European Employment Strategy (EES). Each incorporates an attempt to square a circle: quality is bracketed with productivity, flexibility with security. The EES is a political compromise, and as such is an attempt to achieve the unity of opposites. From the Delors White Paper though Essen, Amsterdam, Luxembourg and all subsequent elaborations, the underlying message seems to have been that the prescriptions of Keynesianism and monetarism, of social regulation and of deregulation, can somehow be harmonized through a technocratic fix that transcends hard political choices.
