In the wake of the Brexit referendum result, there is a need to analyse why Northern Ireland'spolitical parties behave the way they do with regards to European integration. In the case oftwo parties, Sinn Féin and the Democratic Unionist Party (the DUP), the Europeanintegration question has become a defining and divisive issue. As I will discuss below, theseparties present irregular positions on Europe compared to their contemporary governingparties abroad and have also struggled to offer a consistent position to their electorate.This thesis will offer an in-depth examination of the factors which have contributed to bothparties relationship with European integration. This will be done through an analysis whichlooks at elements such as the role of party competition, the role of party membership, and therole of the press. It will contribute to our understanding of both of the parties internally andtheir enormous impact on Northern Irish, Irish, and British public discourse. It will alsocontribute to our understanding of how political parties come to form positions on key issues,in particular in relation to European integration.

在英国脱欧公投结果之后，有必要分析为什么北爱尔兰的政治政党在欧洲一体化方面的行为。就政党而言，辛恩·费因（SinnFéin）和民主联盟党（DUP），欧洲融合问题已成为一个定义和分裂的问题。正如我将在下面讨论的那样，这些政党与他们当代的政府在国外相比表现出不规则的立场，并且还努力为选民提供一致的立场。这篇论文将对与欧洲一体化的关系有促成与欧洲融合的关系的促进的因素进行深入研究。这将通过诸如派对党派竞争的派系竞争的综合派作，以实现欧洲一体化。我们对内部各方的理解以及对北爱尔兰，爱尔兰和英国公共话语的巨大影响。这也将有助于我们对政党如何在关键问题上构成立场，特别是与欧洲一体化有关的理解。
