Flexibility is an ambiguous concept and lacks theoretical clarity. Large parts of the literature on the subject are prescriptive and ideological rather than empirical and analytical. This book contributes both theoretically and empirically to expounding the importance of clearer concepts in the international and nationaldebates on economic systems, labour markets, work organization and experiences of work. The authors place 'flexibility' in a new theoretical context as juxtaposed to 'stability'. By relating these concepts to each other it is possible to open up a perspective in which both flexibility and stability are desirable. Moreover, flexibility may mean instability for one, but inflexibility for another. Much terminological confusion and ambiguity are cleared up by this suggestion.
