    Research | Articles
    Wednesday, October 15, 2008

    Why McKinley's 1896 Election Is Relevant Today

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, November 26, 2015

    You would never guess from the current campaign trail pyrotechnics, but public opinion polls suggest a straightforward formula for victory in the 2016 general election.

    Cruz, Trump And The Caricature Of Conservatism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, February 7, 2016

    The angry and uncompromising tone adopted by Ted Cruz in Iowa and in the aftermath of his victory there has reinforced the perception of right-wing callousness. So, too, has the vulgar rhetoric of Donald Trump, who has topped Republican national polls for months.

    Walzer's Paradox

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, July 17, 2015

    Michael Walzer’s name is associated with the summons to undertake social criticism that is engaged: that is, rooted in actual circumstances; cognizant of real people’s wants, needs, and desires; and respectful of the diversity of beliefs, practices, and forms of association by which groups of men and women organize their moral, political, and spiritual lives.

    What Unites Conservatives

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, September 15, 2015

    Donald Trump’s flamboyant incursion into the Republican primary has not prevented the return of the quadrennial spectacle featuring conservatives arguing among themselves, often vociferously, about the principles that define their movement.

    Obama's "Drop the Politics" Plea: Demagoguery in Disguise

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, July 8, 2014

    Sometimes a speech is just a speech. And sometimes it furnishes a window on a politician’s temperament and provides clarifying insight into how he understands political opponents, his office, and fellow citizens.

    Obama and Islam: A Tale of Three Speeches

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, September 23, 2014

    Speeches -- even or especially when they are intended to obscure the truth -- reveal something of the convictions of the speech giver and clarify his opinions about the character of his audience.

    The Poverty of Obama's Pragmatism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, November 8, 2014

    During his meteoric rise to the White House, President Obama was touted as a pragmatist -- one who overcomes ideology, transcends partisanship, and focuses on the practical and doable. The stunning repudiation of the president’s leadership on Nov. 4 exhibits the poverty of his brand of pragmatism.

    Lessons For Obama In A Still Relevant 1964 Text

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, December 16, 2014

    The Obama administration's embarrassment over the exercise of U.S. power encourages the hesitant, half-hearted use of it, thereby threatening American security and global political freedom.

    Tradition--The Beating Heart Of A Democracy

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, January 13, 2015

    Conservatives have enjoyed quite a comeback since the winter of 2009. But the inherent tension in the conservative imperative to blend liberty and tradition ensures that their path forward will be anything but certain.

    A Moderate Game Plan For The GOP

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, April 8, 2016

    Donald Trump’s candidacy has ignited a civil war within the Republican Party and the larger conservative movement. The struggle not only pits the grassroots against the so-called establishment, but has spurred members of the establishment to take pot shots at one another. 

    Would Allowing More Debate On College Campuses Improve Our Electoral Politics?

    Research | Articles
    Friday, May 6, 2016

    Here are two interesting takes on free speech (or the lack thereof) on American college campuses. Jason L. Riley, a black conservative and Manhattan Institute senior fellow who often contributes to the Wall Street Journal, says he had an invitation to speak at Virginia Tech yanked.

    Reasonable Reforms For A Fractured America

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, May 22, 2016

    Donald Trump’s imminent victory in the Republican primary and Bernie Sanders’ staying power in the Democratic race testify to widespread public revulsion with business-as-usual in our nation’s capital.

    Strassel Nails The Left's "Intimidation" Crusade

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, June 17, 2016

    The three-ring circus that is the 2016 presidential campaign features spellbinding performances worthy of the big top’s clowns, hucksters, and high-wire acts. A neglected cost of the Trump-Clinton-Sanders show, however, is the diversion of attention from the Obama administration’s cutting-edge assault on limited, constitutional government.

    Rauch's Case That Reform Ruined U.S. Politics

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, June 21, 2016

    Regulations often evolve along with technology. When cars first were introduced in certain cities in the early 1900′s, policemen walked in front of them to ensure they didn’t injure anyone or anything. It soon became obvious that that precaution was both unnecessary and unworkable.

    The Perils Of Moral Narcissism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, July 11, 2016

    Bernie Sanders’ failed Democratic Party insurgency and Donald Trump’s hostile takeover of the Republican Party reflect a dangerous fissure that has opened between the people and the establishment.

    'We Are In For A Pretty Long Civil War'

    Research | Articles
    Thursday, October 27, 2016
