Social policy communities now often focus on 'new social risks'. Despite a clear preference for controlling state spending, they also consider that these risks call for,social investments'. Concentration on investments, activation and the future is considered an optimal anchor for redesigning their welfare systems. Convergence around three ideas prompt us to speak of a shift towards a LEGO (TM) paradigm: learning over the life-course; a future orientation; and the collective benefits of an active society. just as when Keynesianism was paradigmatic, however, we recognise that divergences exist in the ways that the paradigm is implemented.
