AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT OF THE TEA PARTY IN 2009: A CONCEPT OF FOUNDING
ABSTRACT: The awakening of
American conservative movement like The Tea Party in the beginning of 2009 was
a phenomenon as a reaction against Obama‘s Democratic presidency. American
conservative movements have never been the same but they maintain a strong
tradition. Historically, they have emerged
and then died
out. This research offers
a concept of
‘founding’ for dealing
with social changes and
the political transformation of
The Tea Party
phenomenon. It adopts
descriptive qualitative methods and applies Event Structure Analysis
supported by Founding and Social Change theories. In general, American conservative movements
have never been successful; however they have affected policy changes within
the government and the political parties in the United States. They are known
to be inconsistent, yet it seems likely that they will continue to evolve.
