Muravchik was one of the group of writers who moved away from the political left in the 1960s and 1970s and came to be called "neoconservatives." In 1986, a Wall Street Journal editor wrote: "Joshua Muravchik may be the most cogent and careful of the neoconservative writers on foreign policy." Muravchik wrote in defense of neoconservative position when it became highly controversial during the years of George W. Bush’s presidency.
Muravchik received an undergraduate degree from City College of New York and a Ph.D in international relations from Georgetown University. He also received an honorary doctorate from the Aurel Vlaicu University of Romania.
