The ongoing process of globalization, contemporary liberal democracy, and Western post-modernity in general are not without their malcontents. This thesis aims to establish the existence of one such disgruntled group on the political far-Right to which it gives the label the "New Right International," a global network of likeminded intellectuals, academics, and polemicists. In lieu of direct political activism, the New Right aim to enact a metapolitical strategy of cultural subversion with the intent of wresting Western cultural hegemony from the alleged control of the Left, the only viable route, they claim, to gaining lasting political power. Hostile to Neoconservatism, liberal internationalism, neoliberal economics, and the supposed project of "managerial globalism" these represent (i.e., the New World Order), the New Right favors a particularistic, anti-egalitarian world in which distinct ethnies exist in accordance with their own religious, cultural, and political traditions. To this end, the New Right draws inspiration from the fascist and para-fascist thinkers of the Conservative Revolution of Weimar-era Germany. Not paradoxically, the white ethnocentric New Right may also potentially seek to ally themselves with anti-liberal counterparts in the non-white developing world. In exploring the existence and nature of the New Right International, this thesis selects four figures and their associated national political movements as representative: the American Paleoconservative academic Paul E. Gottfried (b. 1941), the French intellectual Alain de Benoist (b. 1943) of the European New Right ( Nouvelle Droite ), the Russian "geopolitician" and proponent of neo-Eurasianism Aleksandr Dugin (b. 1962), and the former Croatian diplomat and "white nationalist" Tomislav Sunic (b. 1953). Utilizing a comparative contextual analysis and personal communications with the aforelisted principal subjects, this thesis finds a number of personal connections and ideational similarities between them. It concludes that not only does a New Right International exist, but the intellectual far-Right throughout the world seems to be in the midst of a dynamic process of change, either evolving into or being replaced by the New Right.
