    Europe Stumbles

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, April 18, 2016

    Europeans have failed to cherish, and now to defend, the nation-state system. Americans must pay heed.

    Too Good To Be True: The Virtues And Vices Of Common-Good Constitutionalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, March 20, 2022

    In 1785, James Madison argued in his "Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments" that the bill before the Virginia General Assembly to provide financial support "for teachers of the Christian religion" represented "a dangerous abuse of power."

    Continetti’s History Of The American Right: A Symposium

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, June 1, 2022

    Since the crystallization of a self-consciously conservative movement in post–World War II America, conservatives have been wrangling about conservatism’s meaning. The wrangling suggests the futility of the quest for the “true conservatism.”

    The Last King Of America: Andrew Roberts On King George III

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, January 11, 2022

    TRANSCRIPT ONLY

    In his long and distinguished career, British historian Andrew Roberts has produced world-class biographies of Winston Churchill, and Napoleon, several histories of World War II and the men who led the countries who fought that war, and other great conflicts in world history. Roberts’s new book is The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III, a biography of the monarch who led England during the American Revolution and who has been made into something of a caricature by Americans, most recently by his portrayal in the musical Hamilton as a preening, stuck-up (but funny) king of England. In this interview and in his book, Roberts goes to great lengths to deconstruct that distortion and, in the process, give us an extremely nuanced and detailed portrait of the man who created the conditions for America’s independence. Roberts also explains in great detail the dynamics between the British parliament and the nascent American government, including a fascinating account of the writing of and subsequent British reaction to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

    Area 45: The Trump Administration’s Peacemaking Strategy In Israel

    The prospect for peace in the Middle East requires believing in miracles.

    The message from Massachusetts

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, January 20, 2010

    On Tuesday, Massachusetts voters delivered a stunning rebuke to the transformative agenda obdurately pursued by President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and their minions. . . .

    The Right Stuff

    What The New Congress Can Learn From Aristotle

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, December 10, 2018

    The swearing in of the 116th Congress next month returns divided government to Washington. A Democratic-controlled House coupled with a fortified Republican Senate majority is likely to exacerbate the rancor and vitriol that have suffused national politics since long before Donald Trump’s theatrical announcement in the summer of 2015 that he was running for president.

    Aristotle In America

    Research | Articles
    Thursday, December 13, 2018

    “Nothing is so obscure it does not deserve to be found.” These words are from Delba Winthrop’s 1974 dissertation on Book III of Aristotle’s Politics, a document high on the list of things that deserve to be found. When Winthrop died in 2006, her dissertation was still unpublished despite the protestations of her husband, Harvey Mansfield, perhaps the dean of conservative political philosophy in this country. 

    Pride, Humility, And America’s Dedication To Human Rights

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, June 7, 2020

    The callous taking of George Floyd’s life has provoked both peaceful protests and violent rioting in American cities. The turmoil in our streets underscores the essential importance of a criminal justice system rooted in the rule of law and of a free press that reports accurately on the actions of citizens and government officials. The questions roiling the nation about police brutality, civic unrest, and America's commitment to human rights will linger. 

    The New Progressivism: Same as the Old Progressivism?

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, January 21, 2010

    To understand the sometimes glaring gaps between candidate Obama’s promises and President Obama’s policies, it is useful to appreciate an old tension in American progressivism. . . .

    Other Voices: Middle East Policy Needs Clarity

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, October 20, 2015

    Bin Laden is gone now, dispatched from this earthly realm in 2011 by the Navy’s lethal SEAL Team Six. Yet we remain mired in the seemingly endless fighting in the Middle East, and the rationale for that is in dire need of clarification, if not justification.

    20 Years After Death, Rabin's Leadership Unmatched

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, October 24, 2015

    Amidst the breakdown of their negotiations with the Palestinians and a wave of terrorist attacks rolling across the country, Israelis will gather on the evening of October 31 in Tel Aviv to honor the memory of Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated 20 years ago. And they will continue to wrestle with the meaning for Israel’s future of his life and tragic death. 

    Anti-Liberal Zealotry Part V: Rediscovering Liberalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, September 28, 2018

    In “Why Liberalism Failed,” Patrick Deneen makes an eye-opening contribution to the critique of liberalism. Equating liberalism with the modern tradition of freedom, he distills abuses of state power, nature, culture, technology, and education that are undertaken in freedom’s name yet leave citizens less self-sufficient, less disposed to cooperate, and less capable of looking beyond material goods and social status to the cultivation of character and to the claims of duty.

    George Will's Guide To Conserving The Founders' Liberalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, July 18, 2019

    Patrick Deneen’s disdainful review last month in the Washington Post of George Will’s splendid new book, “The Conservative Sensibility,” reasserts fashionable misconceptions about liberalism, conservatism, and America. The review — and, more importantly, the book — provide an occasion to clarify the character of the conservatism that takes its bearings from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and from the ideas about human nature and freedom that undergird them.

    Unalienable Rights, Reconstruction, And Constitutional Continuity

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, October 19, 2019

    Perhaps at no time since the decade or so preceding the Civil War have debates about America’s commitment to fundamental rights been as rancorous as today. Yet at no time have fundamental rights in the United States been enjoyed by so wide and diverse a population as they are now. The contrast in contemporary America between the public rancor and the political reality reflects an estrangement from history and an accompanying loss of perspective.

    POWER TO THE PEOPLE: The California Recall and Direct Democracy

    Research | Videos
    Wednesday, July 30, 2003

    On October 7, 2003, Californians go to the polls to vote in a historic election. They will decide whether to recall Governor Gray Davis and replace him with someone else. Davis is only the second governor in U.S. history to face a recall election. Is the California recall in the best interests of its citizens? Or is this recall election an example of direct democracy gone awry? And what long-term effects will this recall campaign have on politics at both the state and national levels?

    DIRE STRAITS: Whither Japan?

    Research | Videos
    Friday, August 31, 2001

    Following World War II, Japan reinvented itself both politically, as it adopted the institutions of democratic government, and economically, as it became a dominant producer and exporter of consumer goods. These reforms were so successful that, ten years ago, experts were predicting that Japan would overtake the United States as an economic superpower. Instead, Japan experienced a decade of recession and economic stagnation that continues still. What happened? Is this a sign of serious structural problems in Japan's political and economic institutions? In other words, is it time for Japan to reinvent itself once again? If so, how should the United States alter its relationship with a new Japan?
