‘The International Relations
Center has announced the publication of a new special report, Rise and Demise
of the “New American Century.” It is the most extensive treatment of the rise
of the neoconservatives and their Project for the New American Century.

In addition to examining the rise
and decline of the Project for the New American Century, Barry describes the
emergence of new neoconservative groups, such as the Foundation for the Defense
of Democracies and the Committee on the Present Danger, that remain dedicated
to shaping U.S. foreign policy in line with neoconservative ideology and policy
agenda.

Barry writes, “The
neoconservatives together with their Religious Right and military-industrial
complex allies remain prominent actors in shaping the directions of U.S.
foreign and military policy—some within government and others from a wide array
of neocon-led think tanks, front groups, and policy institutes.

“The tragedy and moral depravity
of U.S. foreign policy in Iraq and throughout the Middle East,” notes Barry,
“should awaken America from delusions of grandeur and superiority—and the
global backlash against the imperial ambitions of PNAC and the Bush
administration signal that a U.S. imperium would have few subjects.”

He concludes, “The ideologues
will keep calling for military and 'democracy-building' intervention, and those
business sectors who stand to gain from an imperial policy of controlling
resources and making war will continue to justify U.S. interventionism with
'peace through strength' and pretentious talk of America’s moral mission.’
