THE IDEOLOGICAL SPECIFICS OF THE VARIANTS OF CONTEMPORARY CONSERVATISM

Main Article Content

Nikola Gjorshoski

Abstract

In the imminent paper, the author elaborates on the primary theoretical modalities of conservative ideology. Such variants arise from the conservative ideology where diversity, specificities, and needs are treated as a fundamental principle of their activity. The necessity to present the basic modalities of conservative philosophy lies in the fact that modern right-centrist parties are faced with the dilemma of ideological repositioning and expedient concretization of the priorities in their own political action. In this respect, the author concentrates on four essential concepts that shape the conservative action in modern discourse. Paternalistic Conservatism, Neoliberal Conservatism, Neoconservatism, and Christian Democracy create a framework of conservative worldview through the theoretical prism and also withdraw substantial axiological and praxeological differentiations on relevant issues such as freedom of the market, media, agriculture, financial sector, solidarity, religion, penal policy, taxes, etc.
