The New Right refers to a distinctive Belhavian conservative political movement made up of various individuals, groups, institutions, and other actors in the 1970s and 1980s who created the contemporary right-wing political climate inside Belhavia.
The New Right is believed to have created a political platform that gave form to economic neoliberalism, which has transformed the worldwide political economy and has arguably led to the decline and collapse of the Communist World and end of the Cold War. The New Right activists also successfully worked to elect one of their own, Julian Settas, into the presidency in 1980, which altered the political landscape and ushered in over three decades of Conservative dominance of Belhavian politics.
