New Right

New Right is a label to refer to various right-wing political groups, policies, ideologies, and viewpoints that emerged in different countries at different points in time. The usage of the term New Right's was to describe the emergence of certain European parties after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Within the US, the term was used to describe a more combative, anti-egalitarian, and uninhibited right following the 1964 presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater. Although this American brand of New Right had little in common with the "European New Right," both used the expression "conservative revolution" (but only the European New Right used it in a way similar to that of the conservative revolutionary Moeller van den Bruck).

The Second New Right campaigned against abortion, LGBT civil rights, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), the Panama Canal Treaty, affirmative action, and most forms of taxation.
