New Frontier

In US history, the social reform programme proposed by John F Kennedy 1961–63. The phrase was coined in Kennedy's speech accepting the Democratic party's nomination 1960.

A vigorous yet pragmatic approach to reforms, the domestic programme included measures to reduce unemployment, increase education funding, improve housing, offer medical care to the elderly, reduce taxes, and protect civil rights. Congressional opposition prevented the enactment of many New Frontier proposals; Kennedy experienced greater success with his foreign-policy initiatives, improving relations with Latin America, making agreements on atomic test bans, and establishing the Peace Corps.

After Kennedy's assassination, Lyndon Johnson worked to ensure the execution of New Frontier policies.
