Consumers on the March, 1960s to 1990s

Welcome to the website of the ‘Consumers on the March’ research project.

The research project ‘Consumers on the March: Civic Activism and Political Representation in Europe, 1960s to 1990s’, funded by an NWO Vidi grant awarded to dr. Liesbeth van de Grift, examines the contribution of consumer organisations to increased public participation within the European integration project. It employs a transnational perspective on consumer organisations in post-war European politics, and adds to the history of modern European democracy.
