“…First, it is common research practice to put global city formation on a par with the transition from an industrial to a service economy, which indeed leads to polarisation. However, this transition is not caused by globalisation, but by technological innovation and changing consumer demand (Alderson, 1999;Kollmeyer, 2009;Krugman, 1994Krugman, , 1996Krugman and Lawrence, 1994;Nollmann, 2006). Hence, polarisation is falsely attributed to globalisation.…”

“…For global cities, economic restructuring to a large degree may be the result of their specifi c role in the world economy. Yet there is a broad consensus that economic restructuring in general is not caused by globalisation but, rather, by changes in (national) demand and technological innovation (Alderson, 1999;Kollmeyer, 2009;Krugman, 1994Krugman, , 1996Krugman and Lawrence, 1994;Nollmann, 2006). In order to assess the local effects of globalisation, one should therefore distinguish between globalisation and economic restructuring, instead of equating them.…”

“…The path-breaking study of Daniel Bell (1974) on the emerging post-industrial society did not refer to the internationalisation of the economy as a cause of post-industrialisation, but stressed technological innovation and the increasing educational level of the advanced economies. More recently, both economists (Krugman, 1994(Krugman, , 1996Krugman and Lawrence, 1994) and sociologists (Alderson, 1999;Kollmeyer, 2009;Nollmann, 2006) have analysed the causes of economic restructuring and proved Bell to be right: technological innovation and changing consumer demand are the main causes of economic restructuring, not globalisation.…”

In this article, an assessment is made of the consequences of globalisation for urban wage inequality. Using data on employers in the Dutch cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, it is shown that simply equating global city formation with globalisation, when it comes to urban wage inequality—which is the common research practice in urban studies—leads to a blind spot for the impact of international competition, falsely equates economic restructuring with globalisation and strongly overrates the impact of globalisation on the urban wage structure. Global city formation does not lead to polarising tendencies, while exposure to international competition leads to upgrading tendencies.

“…Umstritten ist allerdings, ob angesichts der supranationalen Harmonisierung und Koordinierung der nationalen Wirtschafts-, Beschäftigungs-und Sozialpolitiken eher eine Angleichung des Lebensstandards oder ob aufgrund der wirtschaftlichen Öffnungsprozesse eher eine Zunahme sozialer Ungleichheiten zu erwarten ist (Beckfield 2009;Heidenreich & Wunder 2008). Drittens wirkt sich auch die Globalisierung der Güter-, Dienstleistungs-, Arbeits-und Kapitalmärkte auf soziale Ungleichheiten aus -etwa durch eine Verstärkung nationalstaatlicher Differenzierungsprozesse (Alderson & Nielsen 2002;Nollmann 2006) und globaler Angleichungsprozesse (Firebaugh 2003;Sala-i-Martin 2006). Diese regionale, europäische und globale Öffnung des Bezugsrahmens der Ungleichheitsforschung wird seit einigen Jahren als Hinweis auf die Grenzen des methodologischen Nationalismus der Ungleichheitsforschung diskutiert (Beck & Grande 2004 Beckfield (2009: 490) etwa kann zeigen, dass die wirtschaftliche Integration der EU (die er durch den Anteil der Exporte in andere EU-Län-der und durch ausländische Direktinvestitionen misst) mit einer Zunahme der Einkommensungleichheiten einhergeht: "Economic integration can be expected to increase income inequality as workers are exposed to the competition of regional labor markets."…”

Summary: The analysis of social inequalities can no longer be confined to the national context. The sociology of social inequalities increasingly has to deal with multiple territorial scales as inequalities are generated and regulated in a regionalnational-European and global multi-level system. On the basis of micro-data it can be shown that both the level and the unequal distribution of disposable income in Europe do not depend on household characteristics alone, but also on regional economic and labor market structures, on national institutions, on European integration, and on the European and global opening of markets to capital, labor and goods. Despite the harsh criticism of methodological nationalism in inequality research, the national level is empirically still the most important level of analysis. Nation-states continue to exert a high level of influence on the distribution of income by regulating education, social welfare, and markets. At the same time, previously closed national spaces of inequality become increasingly permeable through processes of supra-national integration and sub-natinal differentiation. The national, sub-and supranational determinants of income levels and inequalities are analyzed in this contribution on the basis of EU-SILC data for the period 2005-2008 using multilevel modeling.

“…This transition, in contrast, would mean a transition to more inequality (e.g. see Conceicao and Galbraith, 2001;Nollmann, 2006). Even more than with regards to the agriculture-to-industry change there are mixed empirical results on the de-industrialization thesis.…”

Sector Bias and Sector Dualism

There are several explanations for the inequality upswing in the literature: rising globalization, the institutional re-structuring of the nation-states, as well as changes in the relation between the demand for and the supply of skills. Concerning demand changes, Kuznets and Lewis identified two inequality affecting mechanisms with regard to the agricultureto-industry transition: sector bias -that is, inequality within sectors -and sector dualismthat is, inequality between sectors. In this article it is analyzed whether there are analogue effects on inequality from the sectoral change to the knowledge society. Following the strategy of a most-similar design and a variable oriented approach the hypotheses are tested cross-nationally and longitudinally in 19 OECD countries between 1970 and 1999. To verify sectoral effects, error component models are computed regressing the Ginicoefficient on a globalization measure, the union density, the educational attainment as well as the employment and income differential in the knowledge sector. The results show that some amount of the inequality upswing in the last few decades can be explained by the sectoral change to the knowledge society.The systematic analysis of inequality variation between developed 1 countries and within countries over time is rather a new field of research (e.g. see the meta-analysis of Atkinson and Brandolini, 2004). A good proportion of theories aiming at explaining the long-term development of inequality is based on data from societies with very different levels of economic development at a rather International Journal of Comparative Sociology
