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出炉后，有必要分析北爱尔兰各政党在欧洲一体化问题上的行为方式。就新芬党和民主统一党这两个政党而言，欧洲一体化问题已经成为一个具有决定性和分裂性的问题。正如我将在下面讨论的那样，与他们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固定，而且也在努力向选民提供一致的立场。本文将对促成双方与欧洲一体化关系的因素进行深入研究。这将通过分析诸如政党竞争的作用、党员的作用和媒体的作用等因素来完成。这将有助于我们对两党内部的理解，以及他们对北爱尔兰、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是如何在关键问题上形成立场的，特别是在与欧洲一体化有关的问题上。
