“…While evidence is unambiguous that the relevance of the traditional social class cleavage has declined (e.g. Dalton 1984), empirical studies show that social class remains relevant when divisions within the old middle class are taken account of (see Güveli and de Graaf 2007 for a review, Lachat 2007 for Switzerland). Similarly, religion remains significant for voting when not only religious denomination but also religious practise is considered (Kriesi and Trechsel 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, socio‐cultural specialists have specific skills and knowledge involving social services and social‐cultural issues. Extensive validation tests strongly supports this class distinction for The Netherlands (Güveli 2006; Güveli and De Graaf 2007; Güveli, Need, and De Graaf 2007b). The final class background categories we used were: (1) technocrats, (2) socio‐cultural specialists, (3) routine non‐manual occupations; (4) small employers, (5) manual supervisors and skilled manual occupations, and (6) semi‐unskilled manual occupations and farm labourers.…”

Up till now, no study satisfactorily addressed the effect of social mobility on antagonistic attitudes toward ethnic minorities. In this contribution, we investigate the effect of educational and class intergenerational mobility on ethnic stereotypes, ethnic threat, and opposition to ethnic intermarriage by using diagonal mobility models. We test several hypotheses derived from ethnic competition theory and socialization theory with data from the Social and Cultural Developments in The Netherlands surveys (SOCON, waves 1995, 2000, and 2005) and The Netherlands Kinship and Panel Study (NKPS, wave 2002). We find that the relative influence of social origin and social destination depends on the specific origin and destination combination. If one moves to a more tolerant social destination position, the influence of the social origin position is negligible. If on the other hand, one is socially mobile to a less tolerant social position, the impact of the origin on antagonistic attitudes is substantial and may even exceed the impact of the destination category. This confirms our hypothesis that adaptation to more tolerant norms is easier than adaptation to less tolerant norms. We find only meagre evidence for the hypothesis that downward mobility leads to frustration and consequently to more antagonistic attitudes.

“…Radovi se dominantno oslanjaju na neoveberovsku klasnu shemu i općenito manje variraju od drugih pregledanih polja istraživanja. Pojedini radovi također su istražili mobilnost u kontekstu klasnih rascjepa karakterističnih za Bourdieuove horizontalne granice klasa (Güveli i De Graaf, 2007) i neodirkemovske mikroklase (Jonsson i dr., 2009 ). Većina je istraživanja provedena u Velikoj Britaniji te u manjoj mjeri u SAD-u i drugim zemljama zapadne Europe (Švedskoj, Nizozemskoj, Njemačkoj i Finskoj).…”

A Review of Contemporary Sociological Research on Social Class: Themes, Theories, and Methods

Social class research has traditionally represented one of the main fields of sociological inquiry, however it has become increasingly difficult to follow new trends in this field due to its growing fragmentation. This paper provides an overview of contemporary social class research published between 2006 and 2016 in six leading international sociology journals. Articles from these journals which mention the term "class" in their title, abstract, or key words were reviewed. The paper is based on 326 articles which have been categorised according to eight areas of class research: education, social ties and networks, identity, politics and political economy, work and employment, social risks, social mobility, and cultural consumption. Each of these areas was summarised with a focus on its theoretical orientations, methodological approach, geographic spread, and specific topics engaged with. The overview shows that most of the reviewed articles do not draw on the main theoretical traditions in class analysis, that only a minority of the studies employed mixed methods research, and that cross-cultural studies are rare. The article concludes with a suggestion of themes that a revitalised class analysis in Croatia should engage with.
