Sažetak
Neoconservatism, also referred to as neocon, is a modern political ideology,
originated in the United States of America. This political ideology acquired a
relevant political influence starting from Reagan’s presidency, while contemporary
neoconservatism is affirmed as a dominant pattern with the arrival of
the administration of G. W. Bush in 2001. The neoconservative ideologists
and unipolarists close to them occupied almost all important positions in the
field of foreign policy, defense and security of his administration. Contemporary
neoconservatism has been defined by a group of neoconservative ideologists
during the 1990s. Their ideas regarding global domination of the United
States through a “benevolent hegemony”, a need of strengthening American
military capacities and a necessity of preventive actions against threats even
before they become seriously dangerous are basically geopolitical ideas. They
were translated into a new global geostrategy of the USA. By following the
genesis of contemporary geopolitical ideas and identifying the geopolitical
and geostrategic goals in those ideas, the author has tried to prove the thesis
that contemporary neoconservative political ideology contains geopolitical
and geostrategic ideas, which define its goals as geopolitical and geostrategic.
