    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.

    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. 

    Conservatism And Populism Go Back Centuries

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, November 6, 2018

    [Subscription Required] Of all the strange and remarkable features of politics in the Trump era, among the least surprising is the alliance between conservatism and populism. 

    Conflating Ideas Weakens Constitutional Principles

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, January 30, 2019

    Like an individual mixed up about his convictions, a nation perplexed about its principles is prone to self-inflicted wounds. Both are likely to wander aimlessly and choose friends poorly while falling for the blandishments of adversaries. They are prone to misjudge their interests and misconstrue justice. A nation perplexed about its principles exacerbates citizens’ muddle about their convictions. 

    Conservatism And The People

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, March 8, 2019

    Of all the strange and remarkable features of politics in the Trump era, among the least strange and remarkable is the alliance that has emerged between conservatism and populism. That it seems so striking to many conservatives reflects a certain disconnection from their tradition. The uncertainty and agitation that the alliance introduced into conservative ranks underscore the importance of recovering a lively appreciation of conservatism’s origins, major ideas, and perennial task.

    Joe Biden’s Stale Postmodernism

    Research | Articles
    Saturday, March 30, 2019
    Earlier today, John wrote about the accusation that Joe Biden touched Lucy Flores inappropriately when he campaigned for her back in 2014. I want to focus on the statement Biden’s team put out in response.

    Defending Democratic Norms Requires Defending Free Speech

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, April 7, 2019

    Many in the United States worry about the erosion of democratic norms. Too few, however, exhibit concern for the steady deterioration over the last half century of the essential democratic norm of free speech.

    An American Heresy

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, May 6, 2019

    Today, according to Claremont Institute President Ryan Williams, “multiculturalism and its politics of identity pose an existential threat to the American political order comparable to slavery in the 1850s or communism during the Cold War.”

    Conservatism And The Repair Of The Republic

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, June 29, 2019

    The divisions among American conservatives have generally been more evident -- certainly to conservatives -- than the principles that might unite them. President Reagan’s two terms are the exception. The pronounced divisions of today are the rule.

    Fukuyama's 'The End Of History?'-- 30 Years Later

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, August 4, 2019

    The love of liberty has nourished our nation since before its founding. Yet classical liberalism, which ought to provide common ground for left and right in the United States, is under attack today by prominent elements of both.

    Isaiah Berlin's Many-Sided Concept Of Liberty

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, August 31, 2019

    Speaking in praise of freedom has fallen out of fashion in American politics. That throws public discourse out of step with the country’s constitutional system, which puts a premium on protecting individual liberty. 

    Remedying Polarization With Constitutionalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, January 26, 2020

    To secure the rights that inhere in all persons, American constitutional government weaves together competing principles and promotes compromise among rival interests even as it presupposes a citizenry disposed to tolerate a variety of opinions.

    Peggy Noonan's Words To Live By

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, November 11, 2015

    In a June 4, 2010, Wall Street Journal column, republished in her new collection, “The Time of Our Lives,” Peggy Noonan tells the heartbreaking story of 28-year-old Detroit Tigers’ pitcher Armando Galarraga.

    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.

    Trump's Rise, Elites' Fall, Rot At The Top In Higher Ed

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, February 10, 2017

    President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order prohibiting nationals from seven countries roiled by jihadism from entering the United States for three months—and the administration’s bungled roll-out of the order—reminded foreign policy elites in both parties why they feared and loathed Trump. As if they needed a reminder. 

    A Do-It-Yourself Liberal Education

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, September 19, 2017

    In the name of social justice and diversity, students at elite colleges are casting aside the very works that probe those topics so deeply. The central authors of the Western tradition—from Plato and Aristotle to Mill and Orwell—are no longer part of the required curriculum in the social sciences and the humanities. Their absence carries a high price.
