The success of anti-establishment parties across Europe has fueled debate on the role of populism for foreign policy and its contemporary contestation. The almost-election of Marine Le Pen to the French presidency in 2017, the successes of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany's 2017 and 2021 federal elections, and the central role these populist radical-right (PRR) parties henceforth play in structuring political debate make their wider foreign policy positions an issue of central concern. Yet, we still lack a thorough understanding how populism and radical-right ideology jointly produce a distinct foreign policy positioning beyond European integration. This article tries to narrow this gap by conceptualizing PRR positioning on trade, climate change, development policies, hegemony, and security and defense issues. The comparative analysis of official documents and voting behavior reveals only subtle differences between the Rassemblement national and the AfD, while demonstrating broad commonalities that have the potential to inform research across other cases and world regions on PRR parties’ foreign policy positioning.

将民粹主义激进右翼外交政策理论化：法国和德国的意识形态和政党定位

欧洲各地反建制政党的成功引发了关于民粹主义在外交政策中的作用及其当代争论的争论。The almost-election of Marine Le Pen to the French presidency in 2017, the successes of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany's 2017 and 2021 federal elections, and the central role these populist radical-right (PRR) parties henceforth play in structuring政治辩论使他们更广泛的外交政策立场成为核心关注的问题。然而，我们仍然缺乏对民粹主义和激进右翼意识形态如何共同产生超越欧洲一体化的独特外交政策定位的透彻理解。本文试图通过概念化 PRR 在贸易、气候变化、发展政策、霸权以及安全和国防问题上的定位来缩小这一差距。
