Definir el conservadurismo no es tarea sencilla pues es un concepto heterogéneo que ha evolucionado, al igual que el del progresismo. Abarca doctrinas y movimientos políticos que defenderían la tradicion en un sentido no solo politico, sino tambien social, cultural y religioso. Para los conservadores el Estado debia ser el instrumento fundamental para conseguir su objetivo de preservar las instituciones y estructuras del pasado. Durante el siglo XIX fueron los que añoraban el Antiguo Regimen e intentaron restaurar el orden politico perdido con las Revoluciones liberales. El conservadurismo modero sus principios y busco una alianza entre lo viejo y lo nuevo, y trato asi de evitar las posibles derivas radicales del liberalismo democratico y de los movimientos obreros. Con el tiempo esta vision evolucionaria con figuras como las de Disraeli o Bismarck, sin olvidar en España a Canovas del Castillo.
