Research on the Post-Neo-Conservatism of EU Countries in the 21st Century

我们得出了以下结论。首先，新保守主义产生于战后的美国社会。因此，它与法国大革命后欧洲保守主义的贵族传统有着明显的不连续性。源自美国的新保守主义有一个相关特征，即保护新富阶层获得的私有财产。经济活动的自由被认为是其必要条件。货币主义成为了它的“官方”经济。“小政府”被重新提出作为其政治目标。另一方面，基督教作为其传统的价值规范被重新发现。​欧盟的中右翼政府已经从根本上接受了源自美国的新保守主义。但我们认为，由于正在进行的欧洲一体化所施加的外部限制，他们很难在没有大幅创新的情况下保持这种模式。

We reached following conclusions. First of all the neo-conservatism had its origin in the post-war society of the United States of America. Thus it had clear discontinuity with the aristocratic tradition of the European conservatism after the French Revolution. The neo-conservatism of American origin had a relevant characteristic of protecting private properties gained by the new rich. The freedom of economic activities was considered as its imperative. The monetarism became its "official" economy. The "Small Government" was re-proposed as its political goal. On the other hand the Christianity was re-discovered as its traditional norm of values. But in realty the anti-communism offered common emotional ties to the heterogeneous groups gathered into the neo-conservatism. Center-right governments in the European Union have fundamentally accepted the neo-conservatism of American origin. But we think it's extremely difficult for them to keep it without innovating it drastically because of external constraints imposed by the ongoing European integration.
