  1. neoconservatism

    Neoconservatism is a political philosophy and policy movement originating in the United States during the late 1960s to early 1970s. It is characterized by the promotion of American global leadership, liberal democracy, and interventionism in international affairs, including military actions. Neoconservatism also often supports free-market economics, low taxes, and limited government intervention in domestic affairs. It has strong emphasis on human rights and moral clarity, often marked by a willingness to confront totalitarianism and political extremism.

  1. Neoconservatism

    Neoconservatism is an intellectual movement born in the 1960s inside the monthly review Commentary. Commentary is the journal of the American Jewish Committee, which replaced the Contemporay Jewish Record in 1945. On the "theoretical" side of neoconservatism, most influential neoconservatives such as Norman Podhoretz and his son John, Irving Kristol and his son William, Donald Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz, and Abram Schulsky, refer explicitly to the ideas in the philosophy of Leo Strauss. They often describe themselves as "Straussians." Two conservatives, Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke, in their 2004 book, “America Alone: The Neo-Conservatives and the Global Order, provided a succinct introduction to neoconservatism at that time. Today's neo-conservatives unite around three common themes: ⁕A belief deriving from religious conviction that the human condition is defined as a choice between good and evil and that the true measure of political character is to be found in the willingness by the former to confront the latter. ⁕An assertion that the fundamental determinant of the relationship between states rests on military power and the willingness to use it. ⁕A primary focus on the Middle East and global Islam as the principal theater for American overseas interests.
