“…This procedure accentuates similarities induced by globalization, and reduces national differences to 'variations on a theme'. In contrast, particularizing comparisons reveal the many ways in which nation-states modify common global influences on social structures (Levine, 1992).…”

KLOOSTERMAN R. C. (1996) Double Dutch: polarization trends in Amsterdam and Rotterdam after 1980, Reg. Studies 30, 467-476. The current changes in the economic base of advanced cities - i.e. the expansion of producer and consumer services on the one hand, and the contraction of manufacturing on the other - are supposed to generate a notable polarization among the urban workforces. Here, this polarization thesis is tested for the two largest Dutch cities, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. It is shown that although polarization has indeed occurred, this thesis fails to identify correctly the driving forces behind this polarization. Postindustrial polarization is not so much a product of changes in the sectoral composition as of shifts in the earnings distribution within these sectors. KLOOSTERMAN R. C. (1996) Voir double: la tendance a la polarisation a Amsterdam et a Rotterdam, Reg. Studies 30, 467-476. La mutation actuelle de la base economique des grandes villes developpees - a savoir, d'un cote l'elargissement des services a la production et a la consommation, et de l'autre cote le degraissage de l'industrie - est censee engendrer une polarisation non-negligeable parmi les effectifs urbains. Cet article cherche a mettre a l'epreuve cette these de polarisation pour ce qui est des deux premieres grandes villes en Hollande, autrement dit Amsterdam et Rotterdam. On montre que cette these ne reussit pas a identifier correctement les moteurs qui sont a l'origine de cette polarisation. La polarisation post-industrielle remonte moins a l'evolution de la composition sectorielle qu'a une redistribution des gains au sein de ces secteurs. KLOOSTERMAN R. C. (1996) Zweimal Holland: Polarisationstendenzen in Amsterdam und Rotterdam nach 1980, Reg. Studies 30, 467-476. Die gegenwartigen Umstellungen in der wirtschaftlichen Grundlage alter, hochentwickelter Stadte - d.h. einerseits die Ausweitung der Hersteller-und Verbraucherdienstleistungen und andereseits die Schrumpfung der herstellenden Industrie - sollen angeblich eine merkliche Polarisierung bei den stadtischen Arbeitskraften bewirken. In diesem Aufsatz wird die Polarisationsthese im Falle Amsterdams und Rotterdams als den beiden grossten Stadten der Niederlande gepruft. Es wird gezeigt, dass, obwohl Polarisierung tatsachlich stattgefunden hat, es dieser These nicht gelingt, die treibenden Krafte hinter dieser Polarisation korrekt zu identifizieren. Nachindustrielle Polarisation ist nicht so sehr ein Produkt der Umstellungen in der Komposition der Sektoren als auch eines der Verschiebungen in der Einkommensverteilung innerhalb dieser Sektoren.Nachindustrielle Stadt, Gesellschaftliche Polarisation, Einkommensungleichheit, Stadtische Hierarchie,
