POLSC 484 - American Conservatism
Credits: 4
An examination of conservative political theory since World War II and its relation to the emergence of a new American Right. The course focuses on four moments: the role of post-war anti-communism in revitalizing remnants of various other conservatisms, the consolidation of these disparate traditions, especially under the rubric of William F. Buckley’s National Review, reaction to the sixties and the emergence of neo-conservatism, and finally, the rise of Right-wing populism.
Prerequisite: POLSC 285 is recommended.
Distribution Requirements: CL, HE.
