Abstract
Two related concepts have been used to understand the welfare state – ‘decommodification’ and the ‘workfare’ or the ‘competition’ state, as it relates to processes of ‘recommodification’. I show how these related literatures may be integrated in order to enhance our understanding of current labour market policies. Applying these concepts to an analysis of the ideas and policies of New Labour leads to the conclusion that state welfare services are being reconfigured to serve more effectively the needs of the market, through a process of ‘administrative recommodification’.
