      Abstract

      [From the Introduction]. Activation is a key notion in the European employment strategy, and the cornerstone of the European social model as presented by the European Institutions. It is a principle that has become central to the process of adapting our European societies to changes in production models, changes which have been conceptualised by the European institutions by means of repeated reference to the "movement towards a knowledge-based society". The principle of activation is used to make transformation ("modernisation") of the welfare state into the condition for adaptation of the European social model to the new conditions of production. Insofar as the process of change is presented as a fact of nature, renovation of the social model becomes an incontrovertible necessity. This book set out to analyse the extent to which this type of discourse and practice, as promoted by the European institutions, has exerted an influence on national policies and whether or not we are witnessing a process of convergence in the ways in which this particular mode of intervention is being implemented.
