Descripción
Sumario:The process of ideological and political transformation of American conservatism under the influence of foreign  policy factors in the XXI century is discussed in the article. Foreign policy concepts of various types of American  conservatism (neoconservatism, traditionalism, social conservatism, libertarianism, paleoconservatism) are studied  based on Michael Frieden’s method of «ideological morphology». Two main directions of the conservative  foreign policy (interventionism and isolationism) have been identified. The analysis of the foreign policy aspect of  Trumpism as US version of contemporary populism is presented in the light of the ideological approach. The  characteristics of Trumpism as «thin-centred» ideology, which based on the antithesis of «the pure American people» and «the corrupt Washington elite» and a concept of «common will of the people», are under investigation in the paper. The research shows, that Trumpism uses concepts of «host» ideology (conservatism) to form its discourse. The connection between the international agenda of Trumpism and isolationist and protectionist ideas of paleoconservatism is determined. The influence of conservative ideological attitudes on the evolution of US foreign policy in the XXI century is traced.
