“…De demografische veranderingen en de afname van de industriële werkgelegenheid in Rotterdam leidden tot een afname van de sociale cohesie en traditionele cultuur van de buurt en het ontstaan van een 'cultuur van werkloosheid' (Engbersen et al, 1993). Spangen werd een van de grootste achterstandswijken van Nederland.…”

Hooligans, fans en fanatisme Hooligans, fans en fanatisme Een internationale vergelijking van cluben supportersculturen Ramón SpaaijOmslagafbeelding: Ramón Spaaij VoorwoordHet onderzoek waarop dit boek is gebaseerd heeft me op plaatsen gebracht die de (neutrale) voetballiefhebber als muziek in de oren zullen klinken: Wembley, Maracanã, Camp Nou, Upton Park, Santiago Bernabéu, enzovoort. Daarnaast heeft het me geleid naar de obscuurdere regionen van het voetbal, waarvan mijn bezoek aan de heetgebakerde derby tussen Union Berlin en BFC Dynamo Berlin me in ieder geval zal bijblijven. Op al deze plaatsen, en zeker ook bij de Amsterdamse School voor Sociaal-wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (ASSR), heb ik boeiende mensen ontmoet. Zij hebben, ieder op een geheel eigen wijze, een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd. Ik kan alleen maar hopen dat zij hun inspanningen beloond zien in het resultaat.Een speciaal woord van dank gaat uit naar de volgende personen: Kees

“…This is not the case elsewhere. In the Netherlands, Engbersen et al (1993) identified some unemployed people with a 'traditional' strong work ethic who diligently sought employment, and others with an 'alternative' work ethic who often preferred to live on the benefits provided by the relatively permissive and generous Dutch welfare system of the time.…”

Welfare Conditionality, Inequality and Unemployed People with Alternative Values

Labour and Conservatives' claims that welfare conditionality is ‘fair’ rely upon an empirically unsupported assumption that almost-equal opportunities can exist alongside starkly unequal outcomes. Fifty interviews examined in-depth a diverse sample's values, views about work and welfare, and labour market choices. Respondents' views on equality strongly influenced their views on conditionality and what they considered acceptable labour market behaviour. ‘Alternative’ unemployed respondents, who rejected politicians' suggestions they ‘should work’, nevertheless favoured an equal society with work obligations and often undertook voluntary work. The article concludes that policy-makers should be more sensitive to Jobseeker's Allowance claimants' diverse moralities and motivations.

“…Specifically, disadvantaged residents in low-income neighborhoods characterized by numerous social problems such as unemployment, teenage pregnancies, high school drop-out rates and crime might adopt similar deviant behavior because they have come to view such behaviors as normal through their interaction with neighbors. With respect to work such negative socialization might result in lower aspirations and expectations about one's career opportunities or deviant work ethics that have elsewhere been described as cultures of poverty or cultures of unemployment (Engbersen et al 1993;Lewis 1968).The case study uncovered various forms of socialization amongst residents in the low-income neighborhood of Transvaal-Noord. Some occur within residents' personal social networks, while others are associated with the public domain either through concrete interactions with residents who are not acquaintances, friends or family and who are viewed as strangers, or through indirect interaction whereby people see certain behavior in the street and emulate it without actually knowing the 'other'.…”

Our appreciation goes to all the contributors to this volume, not only for their research efforts and their commitment to this project, but also for their professional attitude in dealing with editorial guidelines and comments. We are especially grateful to John Mollenkopf, who was willing to write a thoughtful commentary chapter to this volume that, moreover, had to be written in a short time span -between the completion of the various chapters and the start of the production process of this book. John Mollenkopf is not only an internationally acknowledged expert on urban issues, he is also very much acquainted -both as a scholar and a regular visitor -with the Dutch urban context.During the preparation of this book, we were able to count on the valuable support of a number of people at Nicis Institute. Ylva Hendriks, program officer of STIP, has provided valuable assistance in preparing the index and guarding the production process during the summertime. We are also grateful to Dick Meuldijk, who was able to reconcile the editors' wishes with his expert knowledge in producing the map to the introduction of this book, and to Koos van Dijken for providing some statistical information. Finally, we owe a special debt to a number of persons affiliated with Amsterdam University Press. Comments made by its editorial board, in addition to three referees, have definitely improved the book and its chapters. Erik van Aert and Jaap Wagenaar of Amsterdam University Press cannot be thanked enough for supporting this project and for guiding the manuscript through the publication process so patiently and efficiently. This book presents the results of the most recent research on urban topics in the Netherlands. Why would those results be of interest for a wider and also non-Dutch audience? We think for several reasons.In the first place, the Netherlands' struggle with many urban problems might be instructive for the urban problems other countries face as well (or will have to confront in the near future). Huge transformations that have manifested themselves in the Netherlands affect many more countries. The Dutch economy has become one of the most open (and in times of economic crisis: most vulnerable) and service-oriented of the world. Moreover, the Dutch population has changed dramatically: with one million Muslims and about one million other migrants (out of sixteen million inhabitants), the Netherlands has de facto become an immigration society, like many other West-European countries experiencing similar changes in the past decades. Compared to the old settler societies (the US, Canada, and Australia), the new immigrant countries struggle with problems they had n...
