	Neoconservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neoconservatism is a political current and ideology, mainly in the United States, which is generally held to have emerged in the 1960s, coalesced in the 1970s, and has had a significant presence in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
		As compared with traditional conservatism and libertarianism, which sometimes exhibit an isolationist strain, neoconservatism is characterized by an increased emphasis on defense capability, a willingness to challenge regimes deemed hostile to the values and interests of the United States, pressing for free-market policies abroad, and promoting democracy and freedom.
		Thus, according to Ryn, neoconservatism is analogous to Bolshevism: in the same way that the Bolsheviks wanted to destroy established ways of life throughout the world to replace them with communism, the neoconservatives want to do the same, only imposing free-market capitalism and American-style liberal democracy instead of socialism.

	Neoconservatism in China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the People's Republic of China, neoconservatism (新保守主义) is a movement which first arose in the early 1990s and argues that Progress is best accomplished through gradual reform of society, eschewing revolution and sudden overthrow of the governmental system.
		Other than the name, the movement has no connection with neoconservatism in the United States, though, from the standpoint of philosophy, it can be identified as a form of conservative thought，albeit ideologically different from "old conservatism" (旧保守主义).
		Unlike the official ideology, however, Chinese neoconservatism is neutral on the validity of Marxism and skeptical toward Mao Zedong, founder and long-time leader of the People's Republic of China.

	Neoconservatism (United States) - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Neoconservatism is a conservative movement with origins in the Old Left that has been very influential in formulating hawkish foreign policy stances by the United States.
		But domestic policy does not define neoconservatism; it is a movement founded on, and perpetuated by a hawkish foreign policy, opposition to communism during the Cold War and opposition to Middle Eastern states that pursue foreign and domestic policies which do not align with U.S. interests.
		Neoconservatism has been influential in conservative agenda in the United States, emphasizing desires to increase defense spending significantly, the agenda to challenge regimes hostile to US interests and values, desires to push free-market reforms abroad, and the general support for a policy of militarism to ensure that the United States remain the world's sole superpower.

	Foreign Affairs - Trotskyism to Anachronism: The Neoconservative Revolution - John B. Judis
		Neoconservatism arose as a reaction to both left?wing revisionism and neoliberalism and as a reaffirmation of Cold War liberalism.
		The dominant strain of neoconservatism in the 1970s was a mixture of the geopolitical militarism of Nitze's nsc?68 and a kind of inverted Trotskyism or socialist internationalism.
		Neoconservatism was a kind of inverted Trotskyism, which sought to "export democracy," in Muravchik's words, in the same way that Trotsky originally envisaged exporting socialism.

	An Introduction to Neoconservatism by Gary North
		Questions relating to neoconservatism – what it is, who runs the show – have begun to be raised by the conventional press, mainly due to the invasion of Iraq, which is clearly the fruit of policy recommendations made by neoconservative advisors to President Bush.
		This is the background to the rise of neoconservatism.
		With respect to the close connection between Jews and neoconservatism, it is worth citing Nisbet's assessment of the revival of his academic career after 1965.

	Commentary Magazine - Neoconservatism & Irving Kristol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Neoconservatism is a movement that, as far as most of its adherents are concerned, would rather not speak its name.
		...As already indicated, when neoconservatism first made its appearance in the late 60's (the actual term was invented by Michael Harrington a decade later), most of its adherents saw themselves as part of a dissenting movement within the liberal community, hoping to stop liberalism's drift to the Left and anchor it in the moderate Center...
		...Substantive matters for the moment aside, neoconservatism is frequently perceived as a movement of disillusioned leftists, men and women who in the recent unpleasantness of the 1960's turned from their accustomed radicalism or Left-liberalism because they could not abide to be associated with a political inclination rooted in anti-Americanism...

	Quid sit neoconservatism? \| Turnabout
		In particular, neoconservatism accepts both the modern aspiration to reform all things and bring them in line with clear universal principles, and the liberal choice of freedom, equality and efficiency as the principles that are to be made authoritative.
		Neoconservatism is the only kind of conservatism that can appear reasonable or even sane in such a world.
		The point is illustrated by David Frum’s recent article attacking paleoconservatives, in which he is able without argument to treat beliefs that ethnicity matters, and that there are standards by which the actually-existing polity can be found wanting, as proof of unfitness for participation in public life.

	Neoconservatism’s Liberal Legacy by Tod Lindberg - Policy Review, No. 127 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		To get to neoconservatism’s liberal legacy, however, it is necessary to begin with liberalism’s origins in the nature of politics itself.
		It is not at all difficult to see that neoconservatism, as it emerged in the late 1960s, was first of all a response to postwar American political liberalism, a secular faith held sufficiently widely to constitute almost a consensus politics.
		An essential characteristic of that political liberalism was its faith that government intervention on a sufficiently large scale could solve, or at least ameliorate, the effects of the social problems of the day, especially poverty and racial discrimination.

	The End of Neoconservatism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Neoconservatism came into being mainly as a byproduct of the disintegration of the left in the late 1960s.
		The neocons were for the most part disillusioned liberals (or radicals) who broke with their former allies over what they considered the febrile, guilt-ridden anti-Americanism embraced by much of the left in the wake of the anti-Vietnam War movement.
		The idea of neoconservatism as a liberal plot to highjack conservatism for the left might seem hopelessly dated-the social democratic wing of neoconservatism disappeared long ago-but it remains vibrantly alive in the pages of journals like Chronicles and in the imaginations of ideologues attracted to the candidacy of Pat Buchanan.

		Neoconservatism is a political philosophy which bridges social and economic conservatives.

		Neoconservatism is loosely defined as promoting the development of democratic governments through the use (or threat) of military force against autocratic regimes.
		I have no real strong opinions one way or the other on the opinion you raise - but I would wager a bet that James (and others would) argue the reports of their demise are greatly exaggerated.

		It tells us a great deal about what is known as "neoconservatism" that more than 30 years after the term became fashionable, those who adhere to it still need to explain it.
		Kristol virtually invented both the term and the movement it represents, and given the bad press neoconservatism has enjoyed in recent months, yet another attempt to explain it was probably a good idea.
		"Neoconservatism is the first variant of American conservatism in the past century that is in the 'American grain,'" he writes (thereby ignoring most of the American conservatism that flourished in the 1950s and later).

	VDARE.com: 09/18/03 - Thinking About Neoconservatism
		Neoconservatism’s key founders trace their intellectual ancestry to the “New York Intellectuals,” a group that originated as followers of Trotskyite theoretician Max Schactman in the 1930s and centered around influential journals like Partisan Review and Commentary (which is in fact published by the American Jewish Committee).
		A common argument is that neoconservatism is not Jewish because of the presence of various non-Jews amongst their ranks.
		In fact, neoconservatism is rather unusual in the degree to which policy formulation — as opposed to implementation — is so predominantly Jewish.

	After Neoconservatism - New York Times
		The problem with neoconservatism's agenda lies not in its ends, which are as American as apple pie, but rather in the overmilitarized means by which it has sought to accomplish them.
		The roots of neoconservatism lie in a remarkable group of largely Jewish intellectuals who attended City College of New York (C.C.N.Y.) in the mid- to late 1930's and early 1940's, a group that included Irving Kristol, Daniel Bell, Irving Howe, Nathan Glazer and, a bit later, Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
		Neoconservatism, as both a political symbol and a body of thought, has evolved into something I can no longer support.

		Mention 'neoconservatism' in Britain and you are usually received with a shudder.
		Neoconservatism in America grew out of the 'counter-culture' of the '60s, spear-headed by thinkers who recognised that the 'counter-culture' was not simply a variant or alternative outlook on culture, but something which actually destroyed the culture - which wanted to do away with the culture.
		Neoconservatism in Britain would declare its unwillingness to play the Labour game, and cut through vast swathes of apathy by fundamentally changing this nation's current, allegedly unalterable, course.

	The Racial Origins of Neoconservatism
		The father of neoconservatism was a Jewish philosopher named Leo Strauss (1899-1973; in the photo at right), who immigrated to America from Germany in 1938.
		Neoconservatism is a movement both created and run by Jews who were once leftists and who usually seemed rather unconcerned about Israel - at least publicly - until they became neoconservatives.
		Neoconservatives created and spread neoconservatism largely for one reason: to use America in an ongoing effort to protect the interests of, or further the interests of, the state of Israel.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Fukayama on Neoconservatism:
		It is indeed a well-written, provocative, and persuasive analysis of the foibles of neoconservatism.
		I was attracted to neoconservatism as a college student, but abandoned it rather quickly when I realized that neoconservatives' faith in the government's ability to competently spread democracy to foreign cultures did not exactly jibe with their (and my) skepticism of government's ability to, say, run a competent welfare program.
		Since these follies of neoconservatism were apparent to anyone who was paying attention in the 1980s, and since the people in charge today are mostly relics of the administration of that time period, you would have thought that the colossal mistakes of foreign policy that modern neoconservatism has given us would have been avoided.

	MIFTAH--Neoconservatism, the Israeli Lobby, and other Power Relations
		Burnham developed some of the ideas of neoconservatism, for example the determinative role of cultural elites; the primacy of ideological conflict; the totalitarian, expansionist and conspiratorial nature of communism; the struggle for the world; and the quest for American global dominance.
		Though there is no reason why neoconservatism should be linked to hardline Zionism, in fact it often is, mingling the neoconservative and Israeli lobby networks and making them sometimes indistinguishable from each other.
		Since the discourse of neoconservatism portrays world politics as a struggle of good versus evil, an image that grew with the events of 9/11, it found support and common ground among domestic Christian conservative groups.

		My own sense is that a number of neoconservatives found themselves thoroughly surprised-and in some cases somewhat unsettled-at how far to the right their political journey had led from its beginnings in the mid-sixties.
		Gerson does not note that neoconservatism's first political manifestation was as the Coalition for a Democratic Majority, and most neoconservatives entertained hopes of reclaiming the Democratic Party and mainstream liberalism for their cause long after those hopes had lost touch with political reality.
		Neoconservatism was not always the tidy and seamless affair Gerson depicts.
