Neo-Conservatism
Neoconservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes strong national defense, a proactive foreign policy to promote democracy and American interests abroad, and conservative social values. Originating in the mid-20th century among intellectuals and policymakers, it advocates for the use of military power when needed to spread democracy and protect national security, often supporting interventionist strategies. Domestically, it tends to favor free-market economics and traditional social norms. Overall, neoconservatism seeks to strengthen U.S. global influence while maintaining conservative cultural and political principles at home.
