Party-level euroscepticism of the radical right: a comparative analysis of the nationalist action party and the alternative for Germany
(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2020) Rodoplu, Ufuk Elif; Dikici Bilgin, Hasret
ABSTRACT: The objective of this thesis is to find out whether Euroscepticism in radical right parties is an ideological orientation or a strategic reaction. Two countries, Turkey as the candidate state and Germany as the member state, are chosen. Selecting countries from different levels of the European Union allows to approach the topic from two different perspectives. In these countries, Nationalist Action Party (MHP) and Alternative for Germany (AfD) were chosen as the representatives of the radical right parties. The parties are analyzed according to the six characteristics of the radical right. These are nationalism, racism, xenophobia, anti-democracy, belief in a strong state/authoritarianism, and populism. The Eurosceptic discourses of the parties are studied and how these discourses overlap the party ideology is examined. The study depends on official party discourses, election declarations, and member speeches to obtain objective results. As a result of this study, a clear connection has been found between party ideology and Eurosceptic discourse.
