1. Wolfgang Gessenharter, Kippt die Republik? pp. 60–1. Benthin points to the line of research which suggests that neo-conservatism and the New Right are two separate groups which merge or cooperate (Rainer Benthin, Die Neue Rechte in Deutschland und ihr Einfluß auf den politischen Diskurs der Gegenwart (Frankfurt am Main: Lang, 1996), 28–9. The best known critic of neo-conservatism, Jürgen Habermas, cites many sources which precede the emergence of the New Right and which suggest neo-conservatism is the precursor of the New Right. See The New Conservatism (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1989), especially the essay ‘Neoconservative Cultural Criticism in the United States and West Germany’, pp. 22–47.
