Neoconservatism (disambiguation) Neoconservatism describes several distinct political ideologies which are considered "new" forms of conservatism. The Canadian, American, and Japanese usages are somewhat related; the Chinese is entirely unrelated.
Neoconservatism in China In the People's Republic of China, neoconservatism (新保守主义) is a movement which first arose in the early 1990s and argues that Progress is best accomplished through gradual reform of society, eschewing revolution and sudden overthrow of the governmental system. This movement is based heavily on the ideas of Edmund Burke and has been described in the West by the scholar Joseph Fewsmith.
Neoconservatism in Japan Neoconservatism in Japan, also known as the neo-defense school, is a term used by Asian media only recently to refer to a hawkish new generation of Japanese conservatives. They are distinguished from older Japanese conservatives in that they take a more "active" view of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and are known for making what would be considered in the West politically incorrect statements.
Neoconservative - Paleoconservative Conflict Starting in the 1980s, two factions in the American Conservative movement began quarrelling with one another: neoconservatives and paleoconservatives. Each argues that the other does not represent true conservatism.
Neocorate Neocorate was a rank or dignity granted by the Senate under the Roman Empire to certain cities of Asia, which had built temples for the worship of the emperors or had established cults of members of the imperial family.
Neocortex The neocortex (Latin for "new bark" or "new rind") is a part of the brain of mammals. It is the top layer of the cerebral hemispheres, 2-4 mm thick, and made up of six layers, labelled I to VI (with VI being the innermost and I being the outermost).

Neodymium magnet A neodymium magnet or NIB magnet (also, but less specifically, called a rare-earth magnet) is a powerful magnet made of a combination of neodymium, iron, and boron — Nd2Fe14B. They have replaced marginally weaker and significantly more heat-resistant samarium-cobalt magnets in most applications, due mainly to their lower cost.
Neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride Neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Nd:YLF) is a lasing medium for arclamp-pumped and diode-pumped solid-state lasers. The YLF crystal (LiYF4) is naturally birefringent, and commonly-used laser transitions occur at 1047 nm and 1053 nm.
Neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate Neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) is a crystalline material formed by adding neodymium ions to yttrium orthovanadate. It is commonly used as an active laser medium for diode-pumped solid-state lasers.

Neoevolutionism Neoevolutionism is a social theory that tries to explain the evolution of societies by drawing on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and discarding some dogmas of the previous social evolutionism. Neoevolutionism is concerned with long-term, directional, evolutionary social change and with the regular patterns of development that may be seen in unrelated, widely separated cultures.
Neofeudalism Neofeudalism is a pejorative term used by some critics to describe the policies of various right-wing politicians. The justification is that government policies are allegedly instituted with the specific intent, or at least the effect, of radically increasing the wealth gap between the rich and the poor while increasing the power of the rich and decreasing the power of the poor (also see wealth condensation).
Neofolk Neofolk is a form of folk music that emerged from European ideals and post-industrial music circles.

Neofuturism Unable to find an adequate lens through which to analyze dense alazon and eiron motifs in post-apocalyptic genre, Neofuturism began as an intellectual movement that embraced the non-Freudian elements of Jungian analysis. This approach was primarily useful in conceptualizing the literary aspects of technocracy, techno-science, cyberculture, cybernonculture, and the cyborg paradox.
