"New" conservatives initially approached this view from the political left, especially in reponse to key developments in modern American history. Neoconservatism - Great Depression and World War II. The Great Depression radicalized many immigrants, and introduced them to new and revolutionary ideas of socialism and communism. The forerunners of neoconservativism were generally liberals or socialists who strongly supported the Second World War, and who were influenced by the Depression-era ideas of former N ...

Neoconservative foreign policy is characterized by a stongly idealistic point of view, buttressed by a support for strong defense and a willingness to use force. Historically they supported a militant anticommunism, sympathized with a non-traditional foreign policy agenda that was less deferential to traditional conceptions of diplomacy and international law, and were less inclined to compromise principles even if that meant unilateral action. It is a school of thought founded on, and perpetuated by an aggressive approach to classically libe ...

Neoconservatism - Usage and general views. The meaning of the term has changed over time. It was possibly first used circa 1970 by socialist author and activist Michael Harrington to characterize former leftists who had moved significantly to the right – people he derided as "socialists for Nixon." The "neoconservatives" thus described in this original sense tended to remain supporters of the welfare state, but had distinguished themselves from others on the left by allying with the Nixon administration over foreign policy, especially in their anti-communism, their ...

Neolibertarianism - Historical roots. Historically, the neolibertarian/paleolibertarian debate was more a question of incrementalism vs. a no-compromise, strict adherence to a principled position in matters of government interference, and the paleolibertarians' rejection of the Vietnam era alliance with the New Left in favor of an alliance with paleoconservatives. As the definition of the terms and the debate has shifted, today the divide is far more between neolibertarians and much of the rest of the libertarian ...

Proponents of both policies emphasize tax cuts - particularly personal and corporate income tax cuts, and often accompanied by increases in user fees such as post-secondary tuition - broad cuts to public spending and services, increased privatization and provision of public goods through outsourcing and public-private partnerships, reduction of individual benefits such as welfare and unemployment benefits, and workfare. Cuts to public deficit and debt compete for priority with tax cuts. There is support for free trade, including the C ...

Idealism proper was a relatively short lived school of thought, and suffered a crisis of confidence following the failure of the League of Nations and the outbreak of World War II. However, subsequent theories of international relations would draw elements from Wilsonian Idealism when constructing their world views. Idealism in international relations - Liberalism. ...

Realism makes several key assumptions. It assumes that nation-states are unitary, geographically-based actors in an anarchic international system with no authority above capable of regulating interactions between states as no true authoritative world government exists. Secondly, it assumes that sovereign states, rather than IGOs, NGOs or MNCs, are the primary actors in international affairs. Thus, states, as the highest order, are in competition with one another. As such, a state acts as a rational autonomous actor in pursuit of its own self ...

Unlike neoconservatism in the United States, neoconservatism in Canada is scarcely if ever associated with former leftists, or disproportionately with Jewish activists. Neoconservatives, in the Canadian usage, do tend to identify with American neoconservative foreign policy through the pursuit of closer integration with the United States. For instance, most Canadian neoconservatives strongly demanded that Canada join the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and most also favour Canada joining George W. Bush's ballistic missile defense program.

Canadians who are in favour of the above policies but also advocate social conservatism are most likely to be labelled as neoconservative. But many neoconservative politicians de-emphasize social issues like abortion and gay rights, and some may identify as socially progressive. Additionally some neoliberals are in favour of socially conservative values as well. Strong differences of opinion may also arise among neoconservatives and neoliberals on linguistically, ethnoculturally and racially-charged issues concern ...

The dominant federal neoliberal and neoconservative parties in Canada are the Liberal Party of Canada, and the Conservative Party of Canada. They are contrasted by the social democratic New Democratic Party, the Bloc Québécois, the Green Party of Canada, and various minor political parties. While Brian Mulroney, Progressive Conservative Prime Minister from 1984 to 1993, sought many neoconservative/neoliberal aims, particularly free trade, his lack of urgency about cutting social spending, deficits and taxes makes him an ambig ...

Defining "American conservatism" requires a definition of conservatism in general, and the term is applied to a number of ideas and ideologies, some more closely related to core conservative beliefs than others. 1. Classical or institutional conservatism - Opposition to rapid change in governmental and societal institutions. This kind of conservatism is anti-ideological insofar as it emphasizes process (slow change) over product (any particular form of government). To the classical conservative, whether one arrives at a ...

The term neolibertarian is undergoing a shift in meaning post-9-11 and post-Iraq War. Originally it indicated a libertarian who embraced the alliance with the New Left, whereas now it is often used to describe a libertarian who favors an interventionist foreign policy, as opposed to an isolationist course of action. In this sense the term is related to neoconservative, and is synonymous with republitarian and the less flattering liberventionist. ...

The first neolibertarians to use the term did so in response to the Iraq war. Distancing themselves from the generally anti-war response of the Libertarian Party (LP) and the mainstream libertarian movement, neolibertarians proudly set out their reasons for supporting a vigorous war on terror and an effort to secure the freedom of Iraqis. Incrementalism in general is a common hallmark of neolibertarians, who tend to avoid over-association with the LP itself. The most obvious neolibertarian instance of taking a practical course to serve a moral goal is the ...
