HISTORICAL SKETCH The Rockford Institute, a conservative think tank located in Rockford, Illinois, was founded in June 1976 by John A. Howard then President of Rockford College. It was established to promote the cultural values and beliefs which encourage responsible citizenship and freedom. The Institute was located on Rockford College’s campus under the name of The Rockford College Institute with Howard becoming full time Director in July 1977. In August 1976, Leopold Tyrmand was hired as the Associate Director and the first full time employee. Together with Howard, Tyrmand published the Chronicles of Culture, The Rockford Papers, and Persuasion at Work and hosted several conferences. The first conference, held in September 1977 and entitled “Capitalism and Culture,” attempted to bring positive changes in American society and provide an educational forum in which key issues could be debated through scholarly discourse. In June 1978, a second conference, “Corporate Responsibility,” considered various militant demands which most companies did not know how to handle. In June 1979, the Institute hosted a third conference entitled “The Family: America’s Hope.” This conference focused upon the concerns of the American family. In February 1980, The Rockford College Institute received its charter from the State of Illinois. Now independent of Rockford College, the name was changed to The Rockford Institute and moved off campus to 928 North Main Street. The first Board of Directors was established in September 1980 and included Robert Krieble, Ed Meyer, Clyde Sluhan, Fred Wacker, John Howard with Clayton Gaylord as chair. Allan Carlson joined the staff in July 1981 as Executive Vice President. The Rockford Institute became internationally known with its conference in Frankfurt, Germany entitled, “For Your Freedom and Ours” held on November 18-20, 1982. In 1983, The Ingersoll Milling Machine Company of Rockford, arranged, under a management contract, to have The Rockford Institute conduct the work of its corporate foundation. John Howard became President of the Ingersoll Foundation. The Foundation Directors approved Leopold Tyrmand’s proposal to present annual prizes to scholars and authors whose works reflect “... the creative articulation of permanent values–truth, faith, integrity, reason, conscience, tradition–rendered with merit in works of art or intellect.” Tyrmand was named Executive Secretary of The Ingersoll Awards. Two awards, The T.S. Eliot Award for creative writing and the Richard M. Weaver Award for scholarly letters were presented annually beginning in 1983. RC 238 - The Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society 4 The Rockford Institute created The Center on Religion and Society under the directorship of Reverend John Richard Neuhaus in January 1984. The Center on Religion and Society was established to encourage the reestablishment of religiously grounded values as the basis for private and public decision making. Headquartered in New York, the Center hosted “The Erasmus Lectures,” and published The Religion and Society Report. The Center also mounted a series of conferences, the speeches presented at them being published by Eerdmans, in a number of books entitled “The Encounter Series.” In 1984 Thomas Fleming joined the staff. He became

University of Texas B.A. Miami University March 2010 Committee Chair: Anne Sisson Runyan, Ph.D ABSTRACT What constitutes global civil society? Are liberal assumptions about the nature of civil society as a realm autonomous from and balancing the power of the state and market transferrable to the global level? Does global civil society necessarily represent and/or result in the promotion of liberal values? These questions guided my dissertation which attempts to challenge dominant liberal conceptualizations of global civil society. To do so, it provides two representative case studies of how domestic and transnational factions of the Religious Right, acting in concert with (or as agents of) the US state, and the political opportunity structures it has provided under conservative regimes, gain access to global policy-making forums through a reframing of international human rights discourses and practices pertaining particularly to women’s rights in order to shift them in illiberal directions.

  • Conservative Movement
    Conservative Movement How did the conservative movement, routed in Barry Goldwater's catastrophic defeat to Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 presidential campaign, return to elect its champion Ronald Reagan just 16 years later? What at first looks like the political comeback of the century becomes, on closer examination, the product of a particular political moment that united an unstable coalition. In the liberal press, conservatives are often portrayed as a monolithic Right Wing. Close up, conservatives are as varied as their counterparts on the Left. Indeed, the circumstances of the late 1980s -- the demise of the Soviet Union, Reagan's legacy, the George H. W. Bush administration -- frayed the coalition of traditional conservatives, libertarian advocates of laissez-faire economics, and Cold War anti- communists first knitted together in the 1950s by William F. Buckley Jr. and the staff of the National Review. The Reagan coalition added to the conservative mix two rather incongruous groups: the religious right, primarily provincial white Protestant fundamentalists and evangelicals from the Sunbelt (defecting from the Democrats since the George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign); and the neoconservatives, centered in New York and led predominantly by cosmopolitan, secular Jewish intellectuals. Goldwater's campaign in 1964 brought conservatives together for their first national electoral effort since Taft lost the Republican nomination to Eisenhower in 1952. Conservatives shared a distaste for Eisenhower's "modern Republicanism" that largely accepted the welfare state developed by Roosevelt's New Deal and Truman's Fair Deal. Undeterred by Goldwater's defeat, conservative activists regrouped and began developing institutions for the long haul.

  • Murray N. Rothbard E Il Movimento Paleolibertario
    Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, 2003, 2 http://www.units.it/etica/2003_2/PIOMBINI.htm Murray N. Rothbard e il movimento paleolibertario Guglielmo Piombini Istituto Bruno Leoni ABSTRACT Murray N. Rothbard and the paleolibertarian movement At the beginning of the 1990 American libertarian intellectual such as Murray N. Rothbard, Lle- wellyn Rockwell Jr., and Hans-Hermann Hoppe gave rise to the paleolibertarian movement. Paleo- libertarians, who favour laissez-faire in the economic realm but oppose moral relativism, were seek- ing an alliance with the so-called “paleoconservatives” like Sam Francis, Tom Fleming, Paul Gottfried or Pat Buchanan. The word “paleolibertarian”, first used by Rockwell, had the purpose to recapture the radicalism and the political and intellectual rigor of the pre-war libertarian “Old right”. Rothbard’s death in 1995 was a blow, but paleolibertarians still continued their twofold bat- tle for the defence of the unfettered free-market, developing the methodology of the Austrian School of Economics; and for the defence of the traditional Christian values of the Western Civilization, threatened by the post-modern “liberal” culture, now leading in the political and intellectual elite. Today the paleolibertarians, facilitated by the Internet, have become a rapidly growing intellectual movement. The main centres of diffusion of their ideas are the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn (Alabama) and the website LewRockwell.com, that ranks among the most widely read news website. 1. La nascita di un movimento In Italia il termine non è usato e suona poco orecchiabile, ma nel variegato mondo del- la Destra americana oggi la sfida più vivace e interessante proviene dalla cultura che si definisce ricorrendo puntualmente al prefisso “paleo”, la quale taglia trasversalmente i due principali raggruppamenti politici (il Grand Old Party Repubblicano e il piccolo Partito Libertario) e ideologici (il tradizionalismo conservatore e l’antistatalismo liberta- rio) che si contrappongono al Partito Democratico e alla sinistra liberal.

  • Conspiracy Theory As Therapy in Philip Roth’S “The Plot Against America”?
    LINGUACULTURE 1, 2013 CONSPIRACY THEORY AS THERAPY IN PHILIP ROTH’S “THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA”? MICHAŁ RÓŻYCKI Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland Abstract By focusing on a passage in Philip Roth’s book, this paper strives to outline how conspiratorial beliefs can have a therapeutic function for the community which has experienced a traumatic event. Fictitious groups depicted in such texts serve as the ultimate causes of humanity’s misgivings: from natural disasters and diseases that plague it to the inherent flaws of political and social systems. Such beliefs, however, are likely to become as dangerous as the cure, a threat Roth hints at in his work. The second part of the paper will look at the viability of conspiracism as a means to address traumatizing issues, in the context of the postmodern condition and the diffusion of motifs until recently present only in the radical texts of popular culture. Keywords: Conspiracy theory, trauma, Philip Roth, Alternate History. 1. Introduction—Can It Happen? The last decade of the 20th century and, even more so, the first decade of the 21st century saw a tendency to depict conspiracy theories in a more positive light. It would seem that the stronger the official voice is in condemning them, the more ubiquitous and accepted they become. Beliefs of radicals became the staple of popular movies and cartoons, while scholars, so far understandably critical of conspiracism, began to recognize that such reactions, however flawed, are symptomatic of a wider problem and have their place in a democratic society, as described below.

  • Imagination Movers: the Construction of Conservative Counter-Narratives in Reaction to Consensus Liberalism
    Imagination Movers: The Construction of Conservative Counter-Narratives in Reaction to Consensus Liberalism Seth James Bartee Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought Francois Debrix, Chair Matthew Gabriele Matthew Dallek James Garrison Timothy Luke February 19, 2014 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: conservatism, imagination, historicism, intellectual history counter-narrative, populism, traditionalism, paleo-conservatism Imagination Movers: The Construction of Conservative Counter-Narratives in Reaction to Consensus Liberalism Seth James Bartee ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore what exactly bound post-Second World War American conservatives together. Since modern conservatism’s recent birth in the United States in the last half century or more, many historians have claimed that both anti-communism and capitalism kept conservatives working in cooperation. My contention was that the intellectual founder of postwar conservatism, Russell Kirk, made imagination, and not anti-communism or capitalism, the thrust behind that movement in his seminal work The Conservative Mind. In The Conservative Mind, published in 1953, Russell Kirk created a conservative genealogy that began with English parliamentarian Edmund Burke. Using Burke and his dislike for the modern revolutionary spirit, Kirk uncovered a supposedly conservative seed that began in late eighteenth-century England, and traced it through various interlocutors into the United States that culminated in the writings of American expatriate poet T.S. Eliot. What Kirk really did was to create a counter-narrative to the American liberal tradition that usually began with the French Revolution and revolutionary figures such as English-American revolutionary Thomas Paine.
