Résumé En

Anton Hemerijck has written a warm plea in favour of social investment policies. Highly politicized, the concept is ambiguous and has existed under different guises for a long time, since its first avatar "enabling state" in the late 1980s. It is very risky to distinguish between social protection expenditure according to whether they are investments or not. The failed policies of "flexicurity" and "activation" that are supposed to illustrate social investment at its best, are good examples of this ambiguity.
