(en anglais seulement)
Despite the considerable literature on market systems dynamics (Giesler and Fischer 2017; Fischer and Giesler 2024), the processes by which a market becomes “polarized” have yet to be fully investigated. Our paper addresses this gap, defining market polarization as “a growing tendency toward starkly opposing views among stakeholders about aspects of the market.” Drawing on longitudinal qualitative data from the Canadian nicotine vaping market, the paper identifies mounting bases of contestation that collectively fuel polarization between and among stakeholders including consumers, public health officials, policy makers, and vaping retailers. The paper concludes with a consideration of the transferability of insights and its contributions to the literatures on market systems, systemic mistrust, and consumer polarization.
