  • The Evolution of Neo-Conservative Foreign Policy Agenda - from the Cold War to the New Millennium Selected Issues
    AD AMERICAM Journal of American Studies Vol. 8, 2008 ISSN 1896-9461 ISBN 978-83-233-2533-8 Grzegorz Nycz THE EVOLUTION OF NEO-CONSERVATIVE FOREIGN POLICY AGENDA - FROM THE COLD WAR TO THE NEW MILLENNIUM SELECTED ISSUES I. THE ORIGINS 1. The history of American neo-conservatism begins in the 1960s with a group of in­ tellectuals from the liberal camp, who rejected the Cultural Revolution and the radi­ calism of the New Left. The intellectual leaders of the new movement, Norman Pod- horetz and Irving Kristol, as well as their allies and associates Nathan Glazer, Daniel Bell, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Jeanne Kirkpatrick, among others, were later named “neo-conservatives” or “neocons” to emphasize the difference between “converted” leftist liberals and “regular” republican conservatives (Ehrman 2000: 50- -70). Notably, neo-conservatives formed their intellectual credo from the elements of many doctrines - including the thought of Hannah Arendt, Reinhold Niebuhr, Walter Lippman, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and Leo Strauss. In general, they shared the view of the whole conservative camp, that the social crisis of the 1960s and 1970s was deep­ ened by the counterculture, which undermined the Judeo-Christian tradition in America and infected the roots of American society. The “regular” and “neo” conser­ vatives commonly believed that American society had been weakened by the effects of industrialization and suffered from the erosion of social relations, caused by the leftist-liberal campaign against religion and family. In matters of foreign policy the early neo-conservatives defended containment and anticommunism, strongly sup­ ported the alliance between America and Israel and raised the significance of moral issues in international policy (Podhoretz 1986, Kristol 1999, Ehrman 2000, Friedman 2005, Tokarski 2006).

  • Press and Election Rnc 2004
    DAVID: I really want to welcome all of you to this event. We’re enormously pleased and proud. The Kennedy School, as you know, is Harvard’s institution that focused on creating leaders for public service and being a source that’s both generating and collecting the powerful ideas that we hope can make a difference. And so this kind of event at such an extraordinary time where I think people on all sides of this election feel like it’s one of the most important in a generation, it’s especially important and exciting to be a part of this. I first of all want to thank the remarkable group of panelists that are joining us. We’re going to start the panel after lunch, or after brunch here, don’t worry. And I also in particular want to thank Walter Shorenstein for his vision and generosity and his real remarkable insight that perhaps the best way to honor his daughter Joan would be with a center that could really focus on the power and importance of the press in politics and how these things interact. And, again, never an election perhaps where this is more important than right now. So I just want to thank all of you for coming and turn it over to Walter who will also say just a couple of words and then we’ll have brunch. [APPLAUSE] WALTER SHORENSTEIN: Thank you, David, I’m delighted to participate in all the activities of the Kennedy School and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy.
