  Two-jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are calculated in
next-to-leading order. The importance of higher order corrections and
recombination scheme dependencies is studied for various jetalgorithms. Some
implications for the determination of $\alpha_s(\mu_R^2)$, the determination of
the gluon density and the associated forward jet production in the low $x$
regime at HERA are briefly discussed.
