    In Trump Era, A Chance To Reboot Conservatism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, January 22, 2017

    By his flamboyance, crudity, and eclectic priorities as well as by his explicit statements, President Donald Trump has made it clear that the Republican Party is not identical to conservatism. That has always been true of the modern GOP dominated by Ronald Reagan’s long shadow. But the 2016 divergence was of unprecedented proportions.

    Moderation Is In Short Supply-- And Much Needed

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, April 22, 2017

    Moderation—the tendency to avoid the extremes and strike sensible balances—does not appear to be President Trump’s strong suit. That so much of the opposition to him is bereft of this much-disparaged but essential virtue poses an even more alarming threat to the long-term public interest.

    What 'Fascism' Talk Really Accomplishes

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, May 7, 2017

    The allegation that Donald Trump’s presidency reflects the rise—or resurgence—of fascism in America has little basis in fact. But it is a sure way to amplify the scorn for Republicans gripping many on the left and the resentment of media and academic elites roiling many on the right. Such talk magnifies polarization and further debases American political discourse.

    How Elites Got Us Into Trouble-- And Can Help Get Us Out

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, June 1, 2017

    In the Trump era, the conviction has spread among elites—especially, but not only, among progressive elites—that the people have failed them. This very conviction, though, is an indication of how American elites have failed the people.

    Confronting The Administrative Power Grab

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, June 11, 2017

    Administrative law is the collection of rules governing the welter of government agencies -- ranging from the Environmental Protection Agency and Food and Drug Administration to the Securities and Exchange Commission -- that are neither legislatures nor courts but which make binding law.

    The People Vs. The Political Professionals

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, June 13, 2017

    Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton—as well as his defeat of 16 rivals for the Republican nomination—was nothing if not a repudiation by a significant segment of American voters of rule by elites. Were the people justified?

    Why Mideast Peace Ambitions Must Be Dialed Back

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, June 17, 2017

    President Trump’s administration is reportedly drafting a document outlining principles to guide negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. The laudable aim is to bring their protracted conflict to an end.

    Bridging The Conservative Divide

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, June 26, 2017

    Donald Trump’s ascent to the presidency precipitated a rift of unprecedented proportions in American conservatism. To prevent a permanent split, conservatives must recover an appreciation of the enduring tensions that constitute their movement. Too few conservatives, however, are focusing on conciliation.

    Day by Day, Tales That Define America & Earn Trust

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, July 15, 2017

    An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll released in late June contains bad news for the country. Only 37 percent of Americans trust the Trump administration “a good amount” or “a great deal.” Worse, substantially fewer—30 percent—trust the media a good amount or a great deal. Worse still is that the public’s distrust is justified.

    Steadfast Defender Of Classical Liberalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, August 14, 2017

    With the Trump administration careening from controversy to controversy, the denizens of Capitol Hill confirming the people’s low opinion of Congress, and much of elite media validating suspicions that they view themselves not primarily as reliable chroniclers of events but as a valiant political vanguard, it is easy to overlook the ideological pincer movement besieging classical liberalism from left and right. 

    A Liberal Calls Out His Party For Its Identity Politics

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, August 25, 2017

    Following a week of relentless criticism from the mainstream media for ham-handed and vacillating responses to the neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, President Trump saw his approval rating rise slightly. It’s as if elites have one agenda, and a significant part of the public another.

    Clinton-Russian Connection

    Research | Articles
    Sunday, October 29, 2017

    Much has been written and said about a possible Russian connection to Donald Trump during the presidential campaign last year.

    Indictments In Mueller-Led Probe Expected

    Research | Articles
    Monday, October 30, 2017

    A grand jury convened by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has indicted an unidentified person on unspecified charges in Mueller’s off-the-rails investigation into the Trump campaign’s hypothesized electoral collusion with Russia, according to media reports.

    What Elites Still Don't Understand About Populism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, November 27, 2017

    According to prominent members of the progressive elite — and a few members of the conservative elite — the election of Donald Trump signaled the rise in the United States of fascism or racism or both.

    Best Books Of The Year, As Selected By Mosaic Authors

    Research | Articles
    Wednesday, December 27, 2017

    To mark the close of 2017, we asked a handful of our writers to name the best two or three books they read this year, and briefly to explain their choices.

    How To Confront A Crisis Of Cultural Confidence

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, March 15, 2018

    In his new book, Leon Kass shows Americans how to honor the benefits of liberal democracy, including individual freedom and human equality, while recognizing their high costs.

    Can Trump's Populist-Conservative Coalition Hold?

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, May 19, 2018

    Conservatives—indeed, all Americans—should take heart: The constitutional order is showing its resilience. Whether because of or despite President Trump’s numerous executive orders reducing the regulatory burden on business and the tax reform he signed into law in December, the economy is humming. Unemployment, including for blacks and Latinos, is at or near record lows.

    Conservatism's Challenges In The Age Of Trump

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, July 8, 2018

    In these confounding times, conservatives would do well to recall that modern conservatism is a creature of confounding times. Both the broad school of politics that emerged in England in the 17th and 18th centuries and the mature, post-World War II American variant arose to combat new threats to freedom -- and freedom’s moral, cultural, and religious preconditions.

    Anti-Liberal Zealotry Part II: The Crux Of Deneen's Critique Of Liberalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, September 19, 2018

    Patrick Deneen, professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, has written an angry and breathless polemic against liberalism in the large sense — that is, the school of political thought that holds that human beings are by nature free and equal, and that the chief purpose of government is to secure individual rights.

    Anti-Liberal Zealotry Part IV: Classical And Modern Lessons Of Moderation

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, September 26, 2018

    In “Why Liberalism Failed,” Patrick Deneen contends that today’s liberal regimes deserve to perish because they do not live up to the classical conception of political excellence. But the spirit of his critique clashes with the purpose of the ancients’ examination of the best regime.
