“…E, a partir de então, os pobres, tidos como empecilhos e potenciais agressores a uma sociedade pautada pelo ideário da acumulação incessante de lucro e riqueza, graças à mecânica exploração do trabalho humano, deveriam sofrer o seguinte enquadramento: trabalhar para prover o seu autossustento ou ser criminalizados. Esta é a lição ou a ética capitalista da "responsabilidade", atualmente em voga, a qual expressa, segundo Dean (2007), o triunfo do princípio da obrigação do indivíduo pelo seu próprio bem-estar sobre o direito de ser assistido; ou o que pode ser descrito como retração da responsabilidade pública para com as necessidades dos cidadãos.…”

“…Porém, parafraseando Dean (2007), considera-se que a proliferação da violência expressa nesse crescimento, atingindo países periféricos como o Brasil, se deu de forma incremental e não abrupta. Além disso, a expansão progressiva do capitalismo em busca de lucros crescentes não criou novas fór-mulas de destruição da natureza e da vida humana, mas renovou e intensificou as de sempre.…”

Resumo: Este ensaio versa sobre ataques aos direitos humanos e à política social, apesar da força discursiva que, contemporaneamente, ambos passaram a ter. Tais agressões se acentuaram com o fim da bipolaridade entre Estados Unidos (EUA) e ex-União Soviética (URSS), no final dos anos 1980, com a autodissolução da URSS, em 1991, e com a transformação dos EUA em superpotência mundial. Contudo, ao se transformar, os Estados Unidos, em alvo de atos terroristas, supostamente praticados por países pobres, a pobreza foi criminalizada e transformada em inimigo número um. Isso explica o desmonte dos direitos humanos, notadamente os sociais, e das políticas publicas que visam concretizá-los.Palavras-chave: Política social. Direitos humanos. Imperialismo. Criminalização da pobreza.Abstract: This article deals with the attacks to human rights and to social policies, in spite of their discursive power contemporarily. Such attacks were stressed by the end of the bipolarity between the United States (USA) and the ex-Soviet Union (USSR) at the end of the 1980's, by the USSR's * Professora titular e emérita

“…Up-skilling, re-skilling and retraining comprise an attempt to rectify Britain's standing in terms of international competitiveness, in which training of all descriptions is undertaken (Sanger, 2003). This creeping conditionality, as a concept of control, may be seen as creating a type of psychic prison, with the association between poverty and individual irresponsibility serving to tighten the bars through perpetuating the discourse of deficit levelled at the unemployed (Dean, 2007). It remains to be seen how the 'New Deal' will fare under the proposed new Conservative Work Programmes, which at the time of writing are yet to be announced.…”

No Choices, No Chances: How Contemporary Enterprise Culture is Failing Britain's Underclasses

Despite an increasing interest in minority entrepreneurship in recent years, the issue of ‘underclass entrepreneurship’ and its linkages to ‘enterprise culture’ remain underresearched. In this article, the authors examine ‘chavs’ as an indigenous British underclass. Using data gathered from an Internet search and newspaper cuttings, they examine how this silent ‘stereotyped’ and socially constructed minority is presented as dangerous and unemployable. In the process, they uncover hidden links between the underclass and enterprise culture, and analyse how entrepreneurship can help such minorities to achieve inclusivity via consideration of role theory and the power of narrative in initiating social transformation. This framework helps us to understand how it is possible to direct young, disadvantaged individuals towards an entrepreneurial career path via self-employment. The paper raises intriguing issues relating to youth employment and tells the story of how contemporary enterprise culture is failing one of Britain's silent minorities.

“…A question is whether the focus has been on commodifying or inclusion and what types of welfare to work regimes, as described by Dean, has been used. The focus by Dean was a typology with four different types of welfare to work regimes [13]:…”

“…Part of this stems from an early understanding of an active society [14]. Here the public sectors direct employment impact as part of an active labour market policy will not be included in the analysis, but the public sector policy has in most countries since the end of the 20 th century been less focusing on using the public sector in the employment strategy [13]. Still, as part of an economic demand-management policy public sector employment and public sector investment can be central, also given that being on the labour market, even in supported employment, in times of lack of demand will make it easier to be included in a job when recession is over.…”

Denmark a Nordic Welfare State – Are the Active Labour Market Policy Withering Away?

Denmark has been portrayed as a country with a focus on full employment, gender equality and high level of participation on the labour market. It has historically further been built upon consensus and class-compromises and known for flexi-curity. The active labour market policy has focused on how to ensure not only a work-first approach, but that a constant upgrading of qualifications would guarantee that the individual citizen could have the qualification to enter and to stay on the labour market.A core question is whether the focus on flexi-curity including upgrading of skills and integration on the labour market has been withering away towards a sharper focus on a work first approach, where activation is used as a stick more than a carrot, also implying that rights' as citizens has been increasingly reduced, and, thereby increased the role of citizens as labourer on the labour market.The article concludes, based on a detailed case-analysis of Denmark, that profound changes has taken place over the last 10-15 years implying that the active labour market policy has strengthened its focus on work-first. Access to benefits has moved in a less citizen based direction, and the principles of universality and generosity of benefits has been gradually eroded. Furthermore, that the social partner's role has been reduced among other things also due to lower union density rates. A short comparison with the other Nordic countries is used as a background for depicting the changes. However, by the end of 2011 a few changes perhaps marking a shift towards a human-capital approach has taken place.
