Differences between the French and German right-populist parties and the new-left parties. La République en Marche, Rassemblement National, Die Grünen and Alternative für Deutschland

Focusing on the political landscape, this seminar paper examines the contrasting positions of right-populist parties Rassemblement National and Alternative für Deutschland against new-left parties La République en Marche and Bündnis 90/Die Grünen regarding immigration and multicultural identity. It highlights significant national differences between France and Germany on these cultural issues. The analysis is set against the backdrop of social individualization, which reshaped sociological discourse in Germany since the 1980s, challenging traditional views of social structure based on class and status.
