Full textTutkimukseni käsittelee Yhdysvaltain republikaanipuolueen esivaaliehdokkaiden väittelyretoriikkaa. Aineistoni koostuu viidestätoista (15) väittelystä vuosien 2008 ja 2012 esivaaleissa. Tutkin, miten republikaanipuolueen ja amerikkalaisen konservatismin välinen suhde näyttäytyy ehdokkaiden retoriikassa. Amerikkalainen konservatismi liitetään usein republikaanipuolueeseen, ja mielipidemittausten mukaan noin 70 prosenttia republikaaneista pitää itseään konservatiiveina. Esivaalit saavat suurta kansallista ja kansainvälistä huomiota, ja väittelyitä seuraavat miljoonat tv-katsojat. Esivaaliväittelyillä on tärkeä rooli puolueen agendan ja poliittisen ideologian määrittelyssä. Sillä, miten republikaanipuolue määrittelee ideologiansa ja agendansa on suuri merkitys koko Yhdysvaltain poliittiselle järjestelmälle. Yhdysvallat on kiistatta maailman merkittävin suurvalta, ja jos republikaanien edustaja valitaan Yhdysvaltain presidentiksi, puolueen agendan merkitys laajenee käsittämään entistä vahvemmin myös kansainvälisiä asioita. Amerikkalaisen konservatismin rooli republikaanipuolueessa on tärkeä ja ajankohtainen aihe, joka kaipaa tutkimusta. Tutkimani esivaalikampanjat ovat tärkeitä niin poliittisesta kuin historiallisesta näkökulmasta. Vuonna 2008 Yhdysvallat joutui rankimman talouskriisin kouriin sitten 1930-luvun Suuren laman. Lisäksi republikaanipresidentti George W. Bushin kaksi kautta olivat traumaattisia amerikkalaisen konservatiiviliikkeen yhtenäisyydelle. Republikaanit hävisivät vuoden 2008 presidentinvaalit, ja demokraatti Barack Obaman valinta herätti kysymyksen republikaanipuolueen tulevaisuudesta sekä amerikkalaisen konservatiiviliikkeen yhtenäisyydestä. Tutkimukseni on monitieteistä, ja hyödynnän gradussani niin historiantutkimuksen kuin kielitieteen menetelmiä. Tutkimukseni on laadullista, ja analyysini pohjautuu esivaaliväittelyistä poimittuihin katkelmiin. Etsin aineistosta kohtia, joissa ehdokkaat viittaavat tavalla tai toisella konservatismiin. Tämän jälkeen pyrin selittämään viittausten merkityksen ja tarkastelemaan niitä laajemmassa historiallisessa ja poliittisessa kontekstissa. Konservatismin määritelmien tutkimisen lisäksi tarkastelen esivaaliehdokkaiden käyttämiä retorisia strategioita ja suostuttelun ja taivuttelun keinoja. Lisäksi vertaan esivaalikampanjoita toisiinsa ottaen huomioon mahdolliset eroavaisuudet sekä kehityksen. Tutkimukseni osoittaa, että amerikkalainen konservatismi nähdään republikaanipuolueen sieluna, ja siitä keskustellaan aktiivisesti esivaalikampanjoiden aikana. Ehdokkaat korostavat konservatismin merkitystä retoriikassaan ja pyrkivät esittämään itsensä joukon vankkumattomimpana konservatiivina. Näkyvästä roolistaan huolimatta amerikkalaisen konservatismin määritelmä on hyvin epäselvä, ja puolueen sisällä on selkeitä ristiriitoja siitä, mitä konservatismi ylipäätään on. Sisäiset ristiriidat ovat selkeästi esillä vuosien 2008 ja 2012 esivaaliväittelyiden retoriikassa

Full textCette étude constitue la biographie historique et analytique de Frederick Charles Schwarz (1914-2009), une figure anticommuniste ayant eu une influence notable sur le conservatisme américain de l'après-guerre. Né à Brisbane, Australie, et formé comme médecin, Schwarz est un Chrétien évangélique conservateur ayant développé durant la Seconde guerre mondiale une profonde aversion pour le communisme. Après une formation autodidacte sur les éléments essentiels du marxisme-léninisme, il développe une renommée pour ses sermons fusionnant prêches enflammés et exposés intellectuels sur la théorie communiste. Invité à effectuer une tournée de conférences aux États-Unis en 1950, alors que le Maccarthisme atteint son sommet, il y déménage de manière permanente en 1953 et y fonde la Christian Anti-Communism Crusade (CACC), qu'il dirige jusqu'en 1998. Vers la fin des années 1950, la Crusade est devenue l'une des organisations conservatrices les plus importantes en Amérique, connue pour ses populaires « écoles » anticommunistes qu'elle organise dans plusieurs villes. Parallèlement, la Crusade étend ses activités à l'échelle mondiale, combattant le communisme dans de nombreux pays du Tiers Monde. En dépit du déclin de la Crusade à partir du milieu des années 1960, Schwarz et son organisation eurent, durant leur apogée, un indéniable impact sur le conservatisme américain. L'histoire de Schwarz et de la CACC illustrent plusieurs dynamiques majeures mettant en lumière l'évolution et la durabilité de la droite américaine jusqu'à nos jours.

This dissertation re-examines the history of the American Liberty League, building upon observations in recent works by Kimberly Phillips-Fein and David Farber that trace the origins of the modern American conservative political movement back to the reaction against the New Deal programs implemented by Franklin Roosevelt. The Liberty League, it is argued here, established a tradition of what I describe as Constitutional conservatism. The Liberty League, established in 1934 with the expressed purpose of "upholding the Constitution," represented the most forceful and coherent contemporary resistance against a trend toward centralization of power in the federal government and the executive branch that took shape during the Progressive Era and was cemented by the New Deal. Historians writing about conservatism in the the U.S. have most often highlighted other explanations for the motivations underpinning the movement, most notably the "racial backlash" thesis, but a theme of Constitutional conservatism can be traced through many of the conservative political organizations that have emerged in the United States since the demise of the Liberty League in 1936. The first chapter discusses the origins of the Liberty League, which to a considerable extent evolved out of the Association Against the Prohibition Movement. In addition to their shared focus on Constitutional issues, the two organizations utilized the same tactics and showed considerable overlap in terms of membership, leadership and financial backing. Leaders of the organization, discussed in a separate chapter, included Jouett Shouse, William Stayton, Al Smith, Raoul Desvernine, along with a number of wealthy industrialists that provided financial backing, including Pierre du Pont, his brother Irénée du Pont, John Raskob and E. F. Hutton. Further chapters examine the activities of the local and state branches of the Liberty League, the League's attempts to coordinate efforts with other organizations professing a desire for upholding the Constitution and analysis of the publications produced and distributed by the Liberty League. While the organization was funded largely by a small group of wealthy individuals with a vested interest in protecting their vast fortunes, the Liberty League devoted itself in practice to arguing in favor of the more strict interpretation of the Constitution that had largely prevailed in the United States before the New Deal era. Of course, the League failed utterly to convince the electorate, as evidenced by the overwhelming electoral triumph achieved by President Roosevelt in 1936, but it's relentless attempts to highlight the perceived excesses of the New Deal helped fill the void left by the virtual absence of any meaningful Republican opposition, perhaps helping to place some limits on the extent of the New Deal and laying the ground work for future generations of conservatives that continue to draw on the theme of Constitutional conservatism in their efforts to turn back some of the advances made by proponents of a more activist federal government during the Twentieth Century.

In the years immediately after World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower insisted that he did not want to run for office. However, the general, persuaded by the efforts of Citizens for Eisenhower groups, reversed his decision before the 1952 election. The new politician did not take an easy path to the White House, however, as Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, the leading conservative Republican, fought to represent the GOP. Eisenhower aligned with the moderate faction, the party’s traditional source of power, and joined the Republicans during the early stages of a civil war in the party. From the time Eisenhower received the presidential nomination in 1952 until his death in 1969, he committed himself to leading the GOP and establishing moderate, not conservative, Republicanism as the party’s ideology. However, this aspect of Eisenhower’s political career has largely been ignored by historians. The analyses of Eisenhower that focus on his presidency, rather than his military career, concentrate on policy decisions, omitting the president’s role as party leader during a transformative era. This oversight not only skews Eisenhower’s legacy but also renders analyses of the conservative revolution in American politics incomplete. Before conservative Senator Barry Goldwater secured the Republican nomination in 1964, a very important moment that augured —but did not guarantee — the future triumph of the conservative wing, Eisenhower worked to stop his campaign. Had Eisenhower succeeded, the GOP and American politics could have followed a much different trajectory in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Utilizing documents from throughout Eisenhower’s political career, this study argues that although Eisenhower failed to halt conservatism, he influenced the course of the GOP. During the 1950s and 1960s, Eisenhower helped revitalize the party, improved the party’s organization, and contributed to conservatism’s delayed ascendancy. Furthermore, Eisenhower merits recognition as a party leader who worked tirelessly on behalf of moderate Republicanism, not just as a man with impressive coattails for Republicans to cling to during elections.
