Abstract
This study examines nativistic nationalism and provides a model of development for the extreme right political parties. The focus of the thesis is the factors that affect the development of the extreme right parties and the influence of immigration has upon these parties Chapter 1 is a detailed explanation of both nationalism and this model. Definitions for the important terms are examined. The model is developed to explain why ethnic conflict occurs and how nativistic nationalism in the form of extreme right political parties develop. The theory is that a series of factors influence the success or failure of these parties. The categories of economic, political, and social are the categories that these factors are divided into. Chapter 2 examines ethnic identity, affects of population, cultural reproduction, and the creation of boundaries between ethnic groups. This chapter provides data on population size and its affects upon the society. Economic, social, and political factors are examined in chapter 3. Each of these categories of factors limits the success of the British National Party, while allowing some success for the French National Front. Once the development of ethnic conflict has occurred these factors are then an important influence on the outcome of the extreme right political parties chances of success or failure. Future predictions and further examination of these factors can be found in chapter 4. It is theorized how these factors will influence the future election results for both the British National Party and the French National Front.
