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.

英国脱欧公投结果出来后，有必要分析北爱尔兰政党在欧洲一体化问题上为何如此行事。对于新芬党和民主统一党（DUP）这两个政党来说，欧洲一体化问题已成为一个决定性和分裂性的问题。正如我将在下面讨论的那样，与同时代的国外执政党相比，这些政党在欧洲问题上的立场不规范，而且也很难向选民提供一致的立场。本文将深入探讨促成两党与欧洲一体化关系的因素。这将通过对政党竞争的作用、党员的作用和媒体的作用等要素的分析来完成。它将有助于我们了解两党内部及其对北爱尔兰、爱尔兰和英国公共话语的巨大影响。它还将有助于我们理解政党如何在关键问题上形成立场，特别是在欧洲一体化方面。
