  text: How are activation programs for the young unemployed implemented? How do street-level
    bureaucrats deal with competing rationalities and demands for action? Transition
    policies increasingly aim at promoting self-regulation and constructing employable
    subjects. Stephan Dahmen explores the practical regulation of biographical transitions
    in activation programs for the young unemployed by focusing on the interactive
    accomplishment of activation work. The study reveals how the critical tensions
    of activation policies are continually re-interpreted and adapted to local contingencies
    and describes the various organisational technologies used for creating employable
    subjects.
