Resurrection, Revolution or Reclamation Project? Conservatism in the Age of Identity Politics

在之前的AY中，我继续分析新的材料，包括几本与手头调查非常相关的新出版的书籍，同时继续写我的书手稿。主要发现可以总结如下：自20世纪50年代以来，右翼身份政治的许多关键原则一直存在于保守派话语中，尽管大多数保守派已经与右翼民粹主义保持距离。在本研究分析的四个国家中，有三个国家的知识分子的著作中有证据表明这一点。就知识分子与政治家的互动而言，他们之间有着长期的联系和影响。尤其是在美国，自上世纪80年代以来，它们一直影响着共和党的政治。然而，与此同时，知识分子经常与政治家发生冲突，最突出的是在教育政策和日本的宪法问题上。这导致了一种奇怪的情况，即更强烈的民族主义倾向，保守派经常发现自己批评右翼政党。

During the previous AY, I have continued analyzing new material, including several newly published books of great relevance to the inquiry at hand, while continuing to write my book manuscript. The main findings can be summed up as follows: Many key tenets of right-wing identity politics have been present in conservative discourse since the 1950s, even though most conservatives have distanced themselves from right-wing-populism. There is evidence thereof in the writings of intellectuals in three of the four countries under analysis in this study.In terms of interactions between intellectuals and the politicians, there have been long-standing ties and influences. Particularly, in the US, they have informed Republican politics since the 1980s. However, at the same time, intellectuals have often clashed with politicians, most prominently over educational policies and in Japan, the question of the constitution. This has led to the curious situation that stronger nationalist tendencies, conservatives have often found themselves criticizing right-wing parties.
