La continuidad del discurso neoconservador frente a la política exterior de la administración Obama

Zusammenfassung

Over the last six years, the neoconservative doctrine has become the most belligerent voice against the Obama Administration’s Foreign Policy. This article seeks to analyze the content of the neoconservative criticism—a radical one, because it is not limited to a minor dissent about a particular regional or thematic area of American Foreign Policy, but it is an outright rejection of its theoretical foundations and practical implementation. Thus it will be seen that neoconservatism remains firmly committed to its principles, with a discourse that is always based on its particular conception of American exceptionalism. Neoconservatism continues to defend the validity of its core ideas and vindicates itself as the best possible foreign policy doctrine for the US, the only one capable of avoiding its international decline and of preserving the world American Order in the decades to come. This will enable us to see how, despite its current lack of political influence, neoconservatism continues to enjoy a vitality that contradicts the recurring assertions about its demise.
