The Glob­al Nation­al Con­ser­v­a­tive Alliance (GNCA) rep­re­sents a polit­i­cal move­ment that unites right-wing and far-right fac­tions world­wide under the ban­ner of nation­al sov­er­eign­ty, cul­tur­al preser­va­tion, and oppo­si­tion to glob­al gov­er­nance. By reject­ing lib­er­al inter­na­tion­al­ism and glob­al­ist eco­nom­ic poli­cies, nation­al con­ser­vatism pro­motes pro­tec­tion­ism, strict bor­der con­trol, and tra­di­tion­al social val­ues. This shift marks a break from the free-mar­ket ideals of Rea­gan-era con­ser­vatism, align­ing instead with pop­ulist nation­al­ism. The GNCA’s Nation­al Con­ser­vatism Con­fer­ences serve as piv­otal events, strength­en­ing ties between Euro­pean far-right lead­ers and Amer­i­can con­ser­v­a­tives, includ­ing for­mer and cur­rent Trump admin­is­tra­tion offi­cials. The Repub­li­can CPAC con­fer­ences have also recent­ly tak­en on a greater role in the GNCA in the same way as the Nation­al Con­ser­vatism Con­fer­ences. While Russia’s war in Ukraine has erod­ed its aspi­ra­tions for ide­o­log­i­cal lead­er­ship with­in this move­ment, Hun­gary has stepped into the vac­u­um, act­ing as a bridge between Euro­pean and Amer­i­can nation­al­ists. This grow­ing alliance car­ries sig­nif­i­cant dan­gers. Its hos­til­i­ty toward glob­al insti­tu­tions and elite pow­er struc­tures has cre­at­ed fer­tile ground for dis­in­for­ma­tion cam­paigns, often per­pet­u­at­ing con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries and stok­ing iden­ti­ty-dri­ven fears. These vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties can be exploit­ed by author­i­tar­i­an regimes, par­tic­u­lar­ly Rus­sia and Chi­na, seek­ing to desta­bi­lize demo­c­ra­t­ic sys­tems and weak­en transat­lantic coop­er­a­tion. The GNCA’s rhetoric and poli­cies risk fur­ther polar­iz­ing soci­eties, under­min­ing demo­c­ra­t­ic norms, and empow­er­ing extrem­ist fac­tions in their pur­suit of cul­tur­al and polit­i­cal dom­i­nance. The elec­tion of Don­ald Trump as US Pres­i­dent has vast­ly increased the threat of the GNCA to West­ern democracies.
