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.
