GEOGRAPHY OR IDEOLOGY? A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEFT AND RIGHT-WING POPULIST POSITIONS ON DEVELOPMENT POLICY IN ITALY AND GERMANY A. Tarasov, A. Turenko The article examines left and right-wing populist rhetoric on development policy. It also explores how the migration context, especially the refugee crisis, fueled the electoral rise of populist parties in Europe. Using a comparative approach, the study analyzes the rhetoric of right-wing populist parties and left-wing populist parties at the national level in the frontline country (Italy) and the destination country (Germany) to identify similarities and differences in their positions.
