Abstract

This thesis has examined the recent electoral success of far-right parties in European and Latin American countries, by addressing a series of questions related to the explanations behind the rise of the Social Liberal Party (SLP) in Brazil and the Northern League (NL) in Italy. A comparative analisys was carried out, focusing on the relation between current policy area issues and the postions taken by the far-right parties and the electorade, regarding exclusionary, authoritarian and economic dimensions. Findings suggested that SLP and NL parties share similar ideological features. Although, these parties disengage themselves from some traditional notions associated to far-right such as fascism and antisemitism, among others, as contemporary far-right parties, they seem to replace these elements with other extreme ideas. Based on these results, it is argued that SLP and NL build upon the increased vulnerability of the people by pointing at the 'threat of the Other', according to different policy area issues (e.g. migration, security, social inequality, etc), which determined their 2018 electoral success. Key words: Far-right parties, policy area dimensions, electoral competition.
