Europe's far right parties and irregular migration : the case of France and Germany

Abstract

This dissertation will assess the role of far right parties in Germany and France with relations to irregular migration. In the Chapter two I will assess the importance the far right ideology to these parties and how the far right ideology is defined. Secondly I will also assess irregular migration within Europe through the Schengen agreement and Dublin agreement. In the second part of my thesis I will assess how and why Far Right Parties such as Front National and Alternative for Germany win votes through irregular migration and how do they tackle this issue in order to win votes through their societies. Results of this dissertation have shown that Front National and Alternative have similar approaches but both make use of irregular migration as a huge issue to the future of the country. Both believe that Germany and France do not have to accept Islam within their societies and consider the religion as a problem to their cultural and traditional aspects.
