CASTEL, Robert. La protección social en una sociedad de semejantes. CS [online]. 2008, n.1, pp.13-40. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i1.400.

The changes, that during the last three decades have affected the labor laws and the protections associated with them, have created a growing sensation of insecurity in western societies. Professor Castel, taking as example the French situation, examines this phenomenon and proposes, in the first place, a basic distinction between civil insecurity and social insecurity. Then the author focuses on the latter type of insecurity and reflects on the economic and social changes that are involved in the current preponderance of flexible jobs. This article, therefore, calls of attention to the risks involved in a unilateral and simplistic view of society and the State in addition to the very important role played by social property in the development of a true democracy.
