Global National Conservative Alliance

The Glob­al Nation­al Con­ser­v­a­tive Alliance (GNCA) is an ide­o­log­i­cal coali­tion unit­ing right-wing and far-right move­ments world­wide under shared prin­ci­ples of nation­al sov­er­eign­ty, cul­tur­al iden­ti­ty, and oppo­si­tion to glob­al insti­tu­tions. It rep­re­sents a sig­nif­i­cant shift in U.S. con­ser­vatism, mov­ing away from Rea­gan-era ideals of free mar­kets and glob­al lead­er­ship toward a more nation­al­ist and pro­tec­tion­ist agen­da. The GNCA has gained promi­nence through events like the Nation­al Con­ser­vatism Con­fer­ences, which bring togeth­er Euro­pean far-right lead­ers, Amer­i­can con­ser­v­a­tives, and oth­er glob­al fig­ures to advance a shared ide­ol­o­gy and strength­en transna­tion­al ties. Many of Don­ald Trump’s appointees have attend­ed these con­fer­ences, under­scor­ing the alliance’s grow­ing influ­ence in U.S. pol­i­tics. Although Rus­sia ini­tial­ly sought to lead this move­ment, its role has been dimin­ished by the war in Ukraine, allow­ing Hun­gary to take a cen­tral posi­tion as a bridge between Euro­pean and Amer­i­can con­ser­v­a­tives. Under the ban­ner of “Nation­al Con­ser­vatism,” the GNCA con­tin­ues to grow, rais­ing both oppor­tu­ni­ties for col­lab­o­ra­tion and con­cerns about infor­ma­tion war­fare and chal­lenges to demo­c­ra­t­ic institutions.
