Abstract:

This dissertation tends to study different aspects of the policies of the American neo-conservatives. The main considered issues in this study can be categorized as follows: the foreign policy intensives, the origins of neo-conservatives, the history of their rise, their principles, their ties to the Zionist regime, and their plans to attack Iran.

In 1930, Neo-conservatism appeared in US which was a link between social conservatism and economic liberalism. In later decades they have strengthened their ideas and the empowerment of George w. Bush gave them a unique opportunity to apply their policies and embody their thoughts. Thus they managed to promote their thought among US politicians and adjust their interests to the American national interests.

Neo-conservatism enjoys a radical and violent attitude and believes in supremacy rather than the balance of power. According to this school of thought the manner of each state is a reflection of the essence of its government. Thus in order to change the manner, the government should be changed.

Neo-conservatives have keen ties to Israel and try hard to minimize her threats. They also have a hard agenda for Iran and declared their clear intentions for regime change and even invasion.

The policies of the neo-conservatives toward Iran have gone through lots of changes. They showed maximum hostilities just after the collapse of Sadam Hussein and the second term of Bush. Their hostile actions might be reduced but before the 2008 elections they try to accomplish the job and smash Iranian nuclear capabilities. However the proper policy making in Iran and the domestic resistance in US against opening a new crisis in the area have blocked these efforts so far.
