The Marginal-Right. The Centre Movement’s Anti-Immigration Campaign in the Netherlands (1980-1998)

Master thesis | History (MA)

This thesis attempts to come to a better understanding of the internal functioning of the Centre Movement and its attempts to mobilise support through communication strategies. Furthermore, it seeks to clarify the movement’s failure to break out of the political margins at a time when conditions in the Netherlands were favourable for the emergence of an anti-immigration party.
