A European Alternative? Active labour market policies and “insider” corporate governance
Résumé
The object of this paper is to discuss the relationship between two areas which are rarely, if ever, connected, active labour market policy and corporate governance. The ‘European’ alternative referred to in the title relates to the possibility of discerning an ‘Anglo-Saxon’ and at least a continental ‘European’ variant in both areas. The thesis advanced in the paper is that there is an apparent consistency between ‘human capital development’ approaches to ALPM and ‘insider’ corporate governance as a ‘European’ alternative to ‘labour force attachment’ approaches to ALPM and ‘outsider’ corporate governance.
