| Summary: |
Neoconservatism is a movement and a doctrine that has been present in American politics for more than forty years. Although it had its peak of influence a decade ago, during George W. Bush’s first term, it is necessary to go back to its formative and development years in order to properly comprehend its vision of the world. This article will analyze how the Cold War plays a key role in understanding the origins of neoconservatism in late 60’s and early 70’s, as well as in its evolution up until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Thus, the idea that international politics and US Foreign Policy were a minor issue in the first neoconservative epoch will be contested. However, the Cold War is not only essential for understanding the past of neoconservatism but it is also fundamental to enlighten the study of its present. In this sense, nowadays neoconservatism has inherited several features of that time, among them a world view that remains basically rooted in the Cold War logic. |
