 NEOCONSERVATIVE
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.
Neoconservatives argued that in unstable situations the United States should try to align itself with the "less offensive" regime or armed faction, which almost certainly would be any faction or regime hostile to a pro-Soviet rival, rather than stay out of the conflict altogether, as some liberals advocated.
The doctrine also states that the United States "will be strong enough to dissuade potential adversaries from pursuing a military build-up in hopes of surpassing, or equaling, the power of the United States." This is designed to create a deterrence to countries that seek to use military might to oppose the United States' policy.

The United States policy toward Taiwan has involved emphasizing the Four Noes and One Without, and in several cases the United States appeared to step in when it appeared that the Republic of China government on Taiwan was moving away from that policy.
The United States exports large amounts of weaponry to Taiwan and there is a great deal of sympathy for Taiwan partly because it, unlike the PRC, is a pluralistic democracy and because of residual sympathy over the ROC's anti-communism during the Cold War.
The United States sees war in East Asia as disruptive to its interests, while the PRC believes that the long term trends are in favor of Chinese reunification and that there is no point in provoking a war in which it stands a high chance of losing.

 BASIC Discussion Paper Series, December 2004
Neoconservatism assumes that the terrorist 'enemy' is a finite amount of people, when it is in fact a mix of ideologies that rely on the angry and alienated.
Other suggested remedies include the United States leaving the UN, the creation of a community of democracies as an alternative, and withholding or reducing the US contribution to the UN budget (as was done in the late 1980s and through much of the 1990s).
If neoconservatism is so fundamentally abhorrent to most Americans as to represent a complete break with the past, the political system that gave rise to it must be undemocratic and elitist, in which case the past must resemble the present after all.

 BASIC Discussion Paper Series, November 2004
As stated in the first section of this series, the foreign policy of the United States continues to be informed by a range of other actors.
Neoconservatism's rise is due to its clear and forceful articulation by a group of well-connected, determined men skilled at bureaucratic infighting and aided by their limited public visibility and accountability.
It is in the context of this mood of fear and revenge felt by decision-makers and the public alike, that the neoconservatives were able to exercise ambitions they had long cherished and to exert an influence on foreign policy out of keeping with the nature of the threat or the strength of their arguments.
