You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Guelzo]], Joseph Epstein, [[Hadley P. Arkes]], and John Marini.

==History==
Legal scholar [[Ken Masugi]] was editor of the first iteration of the ''Claremont Review of Books'' which existed for just under two years in the mid-1980s. According to Jon Baskin, writing in the ''[[Chronicle of Higher Education]]'', it "looked more like a college newspaper," and had about 600 subscribers.<ref name="BaskinTrumpism"/>

The ''Review'' was re-established in 2000 under the editorship of [[Charles R. Kesler]] in what ''[[The New York Times]]'' described as "a conservative, if eclectic, answer to ''[[The New York Review of Books]]''."<ref name="Schuessler"/>  In 2017 it had about 14,000 subscribers.<ref name="BaskinTrumpism"/>((cn|date=July 2023))

==Political positions==
According to historian [[George H. Nash]], the editors and writers at Claremont are [[Straussian]] intellectually, heavily influenced by the ideas of [[Leo Strauss]] and his student [[Harry V. Jaffa]].  In their view, the [[Progressive Era]] culminating in the Presidency of [[Woodrow Wilson]] marked an ideological and political repudiation of political ideals of the Constitution and the [[Founding Fathers of the United States|American Founders]], replacing a carefully limited government with government by experts and bureaucrats who were insulated from popular consent. They saw similar threats in the presidency of [[Barack Obama]].<ref name="NashAbove">((cite news|author=George H. Nash|title=An Outcry Against Government From Above |url=https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2010/10/10/hating-woodrow-wilson/an-outcry-against-government-from-above |access-date=11 July 2019|work=The New York Times|date=10 October 2010|author-link=George H. Nash))</ref>

The ''Review'' took a pro-Trump position during the [[2016 United States elections|2016 election campaign]], with an article by Charles Kessler criticizing the [[Never Trump movement]]. "Conservatives care too much about the party and the country to wash our hands of this election," he wrote. "A third party bid would be quixotic.".<ref name="BarnesIntellectuals">((cite journal|author=Fred Barnes|title=Trump's Intellectuals|journal=The Weekly Standard|date=6 June 2016|volume=21|issue=37))</ref> Nevertheless, the ''Review'' published articles by both Trump supporters and "Never Trumpers" during the 2016 campaign, moving after his election to a thoroughly pro-Trump position.<ref name="Schuessler"/>  According to the ''New York Times,'' in the spring of 2017 the ''Review'' was "being hailed as the bible of highbrow Trumpism."<ref name="BaskinTrumpism">((cite news|author=Jon Baskin|title=The Academic Home of Trumpism|url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-Academic-Home-of-Trumpism/239495|access-date=12 July 2019|work=Chronicle of Higher Education|date=17 March 2017))</ref><ref name="Schuessler"/>

Jon Baskin understood the ''Review''<nowiki/>'s pro-Trump stance as "an expression of the belief that conservative intellectuals can cut a path between the East Coast Straussians' political reticence and the ineffectual tinkering of the think tankers," but was at a loss to explain "how a group so attached to the principles of the Constitution could place its faith in the author of ''[[The Art of the Deal]]''."<ref name="BaskinTrumpism"/>  According to senior editor William Voegeli, the reason lies in Kesler's scholarly examination of the origins of American progressivism.<ref name="BaskinTrumpism" /> In a series of articles and in his book ''I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Future of Liberalism,'' Kesler has argued that Woodrow Wilson and the first generations of American [[technocrats]] with PhDs earned at American universities produced the modern American "administrative state."  To Kesler and the other Claremonsters, the administrative state has not only produced a series of costly and ineffective social programs, it has eroded democratic norms, substituting the shallow certainties of social science.  In Baskin's phrasing, "one of the things that is most disturbing about Trump for liberal and conservative elites (including some East Coast Straussians)—his utter disdain for expertise and convention—is what is most promising about him from the point of view of the Claremonsters."<ref name="BaskinTrumpism"/>  As Voegeli put it, "Our view is that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, whereas progressives are inclined to think that government derives just powers from the expertise of the experts."<ref name="BaskinTrumpism"/>

During the [[George W. Bush]] administration, the ''Review'' "made a conservative case against the war in Iraq."<ref name="BaskinTrumpism"/>

==Notable articles==
Kesler's "Democracy and the Bush Doctrine"<ref name="Democracy and the Bush Doctrine">((cite web |url=http://www.claremont.org/writings/crb/winter2004/kesler.html |title=Democracy and the Bush Doctrine |publisher=The Claremont Institute for Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy|work=Claremont Review of Books|date=Winter 2004|access-date=15 April 2013|author=Kesler, Charles |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081006202813/http://claremont.org/writings/crb/winter2004/kesler.html |archive-date=6 October 2008|url-status=dead ))</ref> was reprinted in an anthology of conservative writings on the [[Iraq War]], edited by [[Commentary (magazine)|''Commentary'']] Managing Editor [[Gary Rosen]]. The ''CRB'' was party to a high-profile exchange in ''Commentary'' between Editor-at-Large [[Norman Podhoretz]] and CRB editor Charles R. Kesler and ''CRB'' contributors and Claremont Institute senior fellows Mark Helprin and Angelo M. Codevilla over the [[Presidency of George W. Bush|Bush Administration]]’s conduct of the Iraq War.

In September 2016, two months before the [[2016 United States presidential election|US 2016 presidential election]], the ''Review'' published an online-only article entitled "The Flight 93 Election."<ref name="The Flight 92 Election">((cite web|url=https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/digital/the-flight-93-election/|title=The Flight 93 Election|author=Michael Anton (as "Publius Decius Mus")|publisher=The Claremont Institute for Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy|work=Claremont Review of Books|date=4 September 2016|access-date=19 July 2020))</ref> Written by [[Michael Anton]] under a pseudonym, the essay compared the election to choices that faced the passengers on [[United Airlines Flight 93|Flight 93]], one of the four hijacked planes used in the [[September 11 attacks|September 11th attacks]]. When the article was read by [[Rush Limbaugh]] on his radio show, the sudden surge in demand to read it crashed the ''CRB'' website.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/03/magazine/claremont-institute-conservative.html |title=How the Claremont Institute Became a Nerve Center of the American Right |publisher=The New York Times|date=August 3, 2022|access-date=January 19, 2024|author=Zerofsky, Elisabeth))</ref> Addressing an audience of Republicans and [[Never Trump movement|Never-Trump]] conservatives, Anton argued that allowing the Democratic candidate [[Hillary Clinton]] to become president by abstaining from voting was the equivalent of not charging the cockpit.
