    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.

    'We Are In For A Pretty Long Civil War'

    Research | Articles
    Thursday, October 27, 2016

    In back rooms and think tanks, Republicans are already mourning their party—and plotting the fight over who’s going to be in it after Trump.

    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. 

    Conservativism Is Compassionate

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

    Why do conservatives believe in free markets and limited government? Because they make life better—especially for those in need. 

    Fifty Shades of Red

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, April 20, 2018

    Conservatives have always had their differences. Uniting them in this fractious age means reconciling two things: freedom and tradition.

    Checked and Unbalanced

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, July 16, 2019

    The Constitution blends political ideas into a harmonious whole. Modern partisan warfare, on the other hand, sharpens differences and dulls the harmony, and democracy suffers.

    The Conservative Mind

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, May 29, 2007

    The left prides itself on, and frequently boasts of, its superior appreciation of the complexity and depth of moral and political life...

    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. 

    Arad on Israel’s national security challenges

    News
    Friday, April 26, 2013

    Uzi Arad visited the Hoover Institution on Friday, April 26, 2013, to discuss Israel’s national security challenges and US-Israel relations. Richard Sousa, senior associate director, and Peter Berkowitz, the Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, also attended the event.

    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

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, March 28, 2007

    Polls indicate that Rudy Giuliani -- the thrice-married, twice-divorced, pro-choice and civil-union-supporting former New York City mayor -- has become the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination...

    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.

    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. . . .

    Obama's Middle East Gambit

    Monday, September 28, 2009

    Masters of the art teach that subtlety, indirection, and on occasion mis-direction are crucial to successful diplomacy...

    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.

    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?
