Abstract:The article presents a conceptual framework to describe consumers' responses to globalization. This is done through a cross-national survey on consumer support for a pan-European government policy aimed at countering global convergence by preserving local cultural divergence. The results show that consumer support for the policy increases with beliefs about the policy's efficacy in preserving the authencity of cultural products and protecting their local economic production structures. It seems to decrease with beliefs about policy-induced proce increases.
