Within Germany, Carl Schmitt's status as a political thinker is on a par with Machiavelli and Hobbes. With the rise in neo-conservatism and authoritarian liberalism in less developed countries such as Chile and Singapore, Renato Christi believes Schmitt's theories will become of considerable importance.;Carl Schmitt had close links with the Weimar Republic and its successor the Nazi Third Reich. His political theories provide an insight into the nature of Conservatism.;In this study the author seeks to apply Schmitt's thought to modern times as well as extrapolate possibilities for the future.
