Abstract: The paper analyzes the „Eingliederungsvereinbarung“ from a perspective of constitutional political economy. The „Eingliederungsvereinbarung“ (§ 15 SGB II) is a formal contract between registered unemployed persons and the German Federal Employment Office (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) with the objective of reintegrating the jobless person into the job market promptly. It regulates the so-called „Eingliederungsstrategie“ which defines the mutual rights and duties between the employment office and the jobless person. Using qualitative date the paper highlights existing shortcomings of the „Eingliederungsvereinbarung“ and suggests necessary improvements. Although the „Eingliederungsvereinbarung“ matches the constitutional interest of jobless people of being reintegrated into the job market the actual arrangement of this social policy instrument run contrary to its purpose. To gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic process of negotiating this contract, a theoretical model is developed which allows for a clear distinction between the level of rules and the level of action.
