The contributions to the present volume offer a comparative study of the development of conservatism in the Federal Republic of Germany and the USA from 1945 to the present. They examine the different framework conditions and mutual relationships as well as  essential players in politics and culture, theory and practice. This work provides for the first time a comparative overview of this most influential movement of the recent past. In addition to historical overviews, this volume focuses on influential people and positions, considering such figures as Gottfried Benn, Allan Bloom, James Burnham, Carl Schmitt, Arnold Gehlen, Ernst Jünger, Eduard Spranger, Leo Strauss and Eric Voegelin, and provides analyses of cultural and political areas of interest such as education, the media and the armed forces.
