Sébastien Caré, political scientist and senior lecturer at Université Rennes‑1, is a specialist of libertarian thought and author of several books on the subject. This lecture examines the emergence of paleo‑libertarianism from the early 1990s and the intellectual efforts that enabled a rapprochement between libertarians and the American right. Caré explores the movement’s roots in Murray Rothbard and Llewellyn H. Rockwell, its emphasis on isolationism, anti‑statism and traditional social values, and its implications for contemporary U.S. politics.
