Paleoconservatism

Paleoconservatism is an American conservative movement that emphasizes inherited cultural traditions, national sovereignty, immigration restriction, and restraint in foreign intervention.

Old Right: A loose American political movement that opposed the New Deal and resisted U.S. intervention in foreign wars before World War II. Its anti-interventionism and resistance to centralized power became precedents for paleoconservative politics.
Traditionalism: A political and cultural outlook that values inherited practices and institutions as sources of social order. Paleoconservatives treat inherited customs as foundations of American community.
Neoconservatism: A modern American conservative movement associated with assertive foreign policy and promoting democracy abroad. Its support for intervention abroad contrasts with paleoconservative restraint.
Russell Kirk: An American political theorist whose work helped revive traditionalist conservatism after World War II. His defense of tradition supplied intellectual resources for paleoconservative thought.
America First: A political slogan and foreign-policy outlook prioritizing U.S. national interests and opposing open-ended foreign commitments. Paleoconservatives helped renew the phrase as a critique of interventionist policy.
National Review: An American conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley Jr. in 1955. Its effort to unite conservatives helped define the movement paleoconservatives later challenged.
National sovereignty: The authority of a state to govern itself without subordination to external powers. It grounds opposition to transferring political authority to international institutions.
Fusionism: A conservative political philosophy that seeks to combine traditionalist values with individual liberty and limited government. Paleoconservatives reject this postwar alliance as an unstable compromise.
Samuel Francis: An American political writer and editor associated with paleoconservatism and national populism. His writings developed a more populist and nationalist version of the movement.
Trade protectionism: Government policies that shield domestic producers from foreign competition, often through tariffs or quotas. The movement’s economic nationalism challenges conservative support for unrestricted free trade.
