| contents | Smuggling-in flexibility: temporary work contracts and the "implicit threat" mechanism : reflections on a new European path Valerio De Stefano Describes some of the changes which have taken place in business and workforce practices in recent decades. In particular, it focuses on firms' increasing recourse to outsourcing and non-standard forms of employment in pursuit of business flexibility. Argues that, although, from a legal standpoint, the internalization of working activities and permanent employment provide a great deal more flexibility than such practices, business organizations are able to exploit them to obtain de facto flexibility, taking advantage of extra-legal mechanisms. This gives rise to what can be called “hierarchical market relationships”. Adopts a "law and economics" approach, based on transaction costs theories and refers to some results of "relational contract theory", applied both to outsourcing and temporary work contracts.
