Abstract
The open method of coordination (OMC) which is applied in the European employment strategy by the EU is stylized in the academic literature as a focal point for decentralized modes of governance. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s analysis of governmentality the OMC doesn’t seem to represent an innovative governance tool but a governmental “economy of power”. The OMC installs a regime of truth which privileges only labour market regulations that rely on activation policies. The analysis of governmentality elucidates the European employment strategy from the standpoint of Foucauldian power analytics.
