GIOR Analysis: Heritage Foundation Calls for Global National Conservative Alliance; GIOR Called It First

The Her­itage Foun­da­tion has released an astound­ing report call­ing for the Trump admin­is­tra­tion to estab­lish a glob­al alliance of con­ser­v­a­tive, nation­al­ist, and pop­ulist move­ments to counter the transna­tion­al Left­’s insti­tu­tion­al dom­i­nance, and pre­cise­ly align­ing with the Glob­al Influ­ence Oper­a­tions Report’s (GIOR) descrip­tion of the Glob­al Nation­al Con­ser­v­a­tive Alliance (GNCA). On 13 June 2025, Nathan Levine’s Her­itage Foun­da­tion report argued that an inter­na­tion­al coali­tion of like-mind­ed states and par­ties could break the glob­al­ist Left­’s nor­ma­tive stran­gle­hold while advanc­ing demo­c­ra­t­ic sov­er­eign­ty and secure bor­ders world­wide through coor­di­nat­ed “nation­al­ist inter­na­tion­al­ism.” The report begins:

The Trump Admin­is­tra­tion has launched an ambi­tious pro­gram of domes­tic reforms focused on rein­ing in out-of-con­trol insti­tu­tions both inside and out­side gov­ern­ment. At the same time, it has begun a nec­es­sary refor­mu­la­tion of U.S. for­eign pol­i­cy, chal­leng­ing bureau­crat­ic iner­tia and stale ide­o­log­i­cal assump­tions about every­thing from trade to inter­na­tion­al secu­ri­ty in an effort to meet the most press­ing glob­al chal­lenges fac­ing the coun­try today. Both of these efforts, for­eign and domes­tic, are intend­ed to bring the U.S. gov­ern­ment and a recal­ci­trant broad­er estab­lish­ment into align­ment with the real inter­ests of the Amer­i­can nation rather than those of a transna­tion­al elite whose glob­al­ist dreams have dom­i­nat­ed Amer­i­can pol­i­cy for decades. This Amer­i­ca First pol­i­cy is a healthy cor­rec­tive to decades of post-nation­al­ism, both at home and abroad.

Key Points

• The report argues that con­ser­v­a­tive defeats in Cana­da, Aus­tralia, and Roma­nia could have been avoid­ed through bet­ter Trump admin­is­tra­tion strate­gic mes­sag­ing and inter­na­tion­al coordination
• A U.S.-led alliance would unite around prin­ci­ples includ­ing nation­al sov­er­eign­ty, bor­der secu­ri­ty, demo­c­ra­t­ic self-deter­mi­na­tion, and free­dom from supra­na­tion­al coercion
• The pro­pos­al tar­gets the transna­tion­al Left­’s net­work of NGOs, courts, media out­lets, and “fact-check­ing” orga­ni­za­tions that coor­di­nate cen­sor­ship and polit­i­cal per­se­cu­tion across borders
• Hun­gary’s con­ser­v­a­tive gov­ern­ment exem­pli­fies the risk of iso­la­tion, hav­ing sup­port­ed Trump but now fear­ing polit­i­cal dis­as­ter with­out vis­i­ble ben­e­fits from Washington

Heritage Foundation Spearheads GNCA’s Global Authoritarian Alliance

The Her­itage Foun­da­tion has emerged as a cen­tral archi­tect of the Glob­al Nation­al Con­ser­v­a­tive Alliance (GNCA), orches­trat­ing an unprece­dent­ed transat­lantic coali­tion that seeks to reshape West­ern gov­er­nance through author­i­tar­i­an-lean­ing poli­cies and insti­tu­tion­al dis­man­tle­ment. Under Kevin Roberts’ lead­er­ship, Her­itage has moved deci­sive­ly beyond its tra­di­tion­al con­ser­v­a­tive roots to embrace what it calls “insti­tu­tion­al­iz­ing Trump­ism,” forg­ing strate­gic part­ner­ships with Hun­gar­i­an auto­crat Vik­tor Orbán’s gov­ern­ment-backed Math­ias Corv­i­nus Col­legium and Poland’s illib­er­al Ordo Iuris Insti­tute to devel­op blue­prints for EU insti­tu­tion­al destruc­tion. This alliance has man­i­fest­ed in con­crete pol­i­cy coor­di­na­tion, with Her­itage host­ing closed-door work­shops where Euro­pean part­ners pro­pose renam­ing the Euro­pean Union to the “Euro­pean Com­mu­ni­ty of Nations” and elim­i­nat­ing the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion and Euro­pean Court of Jus­tice entirely.

The foun­da­tion’s Project 2025 agen­da, already 42% imple­ment­ed in Trump’s sec­ond term, serves as the oper­a­tional tem­plate for sim­i­lar author­i­tar­i­an trans­for­ma­tions across Europe, with Her­itage active­ly sup­port­ing far-right par­ties like France’s Rassem­ble­ment Nation­al, Hun­gary’s Fidesz, and Italy’s Fratel­li d’I­talia in their efforts to dis­man­tle lib­er­al demo­c­ra­t­ic insti­tu­tions. Project 2025, Her­itage’s com­pre­hen­sive 900-page pol­i­cy blue­print, out­lines a plan to “decon­struct the admin­is­tra­tive state” through the elim­i­na­tion of mer­it-based civ­il ser­vice, the dis­man­tling of fed­er­al agen­cies, includ­ing the Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion and FBI, and the imple­men­ta­tion of strict con­ser­v­a­tive social poli­cies, includ­ing crim­i­nal­iz­ing pornog­ra­phy and deploy­ing mil­i­tary forces for domes­tic law enforcement.

The project rep­re­sents Her­itage’s most ambi­tious attempt to insti­tu­tion­al­ize con­ser­v­a­tive gov­er­nance by con­cen­trat­ing exec­u­tive pow­er and sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly remov­ing insti­tu­tion­al checks on pres­i­den­tial author­i­ty. Through its expand­ing Euro­pean net­work, Her­itage coor­di­nates mes­sag­ing cam­paigns that frame cli­mate action as glob­al­ist tyran­ny, LGBTQ+ rights as civ­i­liza­tion­al decay, and immi­gra­tion as an exis­ten­tial threat, while the broad­er nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive move­ment includes var­i­ous allied orga­ni­za­tions work­ing to influ­ence Euro­pean pol­i­cy­mak­ing. The foun­da­tion’s trans­for­ma­tion from Rea­gan-era free-mar­ket advo­ca­cy to Orbán-style illib­er­al­ism rep­re­sents a fun­da­men­tal shift in con­ser­v­a­tive ide­ol­o­gy, with Roberts explic­it­ly declar­ing “there is no such thing as a con­ser­v­a­tive cos­mopoli­tan” and posi­tion­ing Her­itage as the intel­lec­tu­al van­guard of a glob­al move­ment that views fas­cist-era tac­tics as legit­i­mate tools for achiev­ing cul­tur­al and polit­i­cal dom­i­nance.

In Novem­ber 2024, we believe the GIOR was the first to intro­duce the con­cept of a Glob­al Nation­al Con­ser­v­a­tive Alliance (GNCA). The GIOR edi­tors are astound­ed to see the pre­mier archi­tect of the GNCA now open­ly call­ing for the for­ma­tion of such an alliance. Nathan Kline, the author of the Her­itage report, is close­ly tied to the Hun­gar­i­an gov­ern­ment, also iden­ti­fied by the GIOR as play­ing a cen­tral role in the GNCA.
