This thesis seeks to answer the research question, what are the discursive connectionsbetween the Fratelli di Italia in Italy and the Alternative Für Deutschland in the Republic ofGermany and analyze the impacts for the EU. Using constructivist theory and primaryinterviews in conjunction with speeches and interviews, I will demonstrate how there areshared values and norms between the parties which influence the norms and values of the EU.Through the subjects of immigration policy and European integration I will analyze thesimilarities in values and what their implications are for the EU.
