Abstract
Human geography in the Dutch academia distinguishes itself from human geography in other continental European countries. It has developed a strong applied focus and an orientation which forms a bridge between continental European approaches in human Geography and the Anglo-Saxon human geography. The motor of this development has been the rivalry between the Amsterdam School of Sociography and the more French oriented Utrecht School of human geography. In recent times Dutch academic geography has found her way back from the more applied modes of thought to more theoretically informed debates, to which she contributes substantially.
