 Single or Multi-Party System?

The liberation of Uganda from Amin's rule in March 1979 had ended a long phase of brutality in Ugandan politics without resolving the underlying questions of the means and ends of reconstituting state power.
At the initial stages, reconstituting the democratic structures involved the use of appointive and co-optive methods that guaranteed that a significant element of the opposition was brought on board.

 Africa's Future - Speeches - Dakar 1996 - Executive - The International - Liberalism
Although it is difficult to define precisely the right conditions for democratisation, as a realist I would, nevertheless, like to underline that a number of factors may have a positive influence.
All too often European and American democratisation programmes have concentrated on removing various technical obstacles to democracy and it has been assumed that the problems is mainly due to a lack of knowledge and experience.
For example, political parties are trained in running campaigns, helped with the registration of electors, all sorts of NGOs received funding to undertake public information campaigns, etc. The actual problems, however, are political in nature; and this political process is barely affected by the technical programmes.

 Liberal Hawks: Flying in Neocon Circles - by Tom Barry
Liberal hawks like Ivo Daalder, Robert Kerrey, and Will Marshall also find themselves discredited as the quagmire in Iraq swallows up all their arguments supporting the invasion and occupation.
Perhaps the clearest articulation of the liberal hawk position on foreign and military policy is found in an October 2003 report by the Progressive Policy Institute.
An open question facing the presumptive Democratic Party leadership and the presumptive party nominee John Kerry is whether they will align themselves with the militaristic and supremacist foreign policy advocated by the liberal hawks.

 The Democratic Delusion- by Justin Raimondo
That genuine liberalism was essentially radical and revolutionary was brilliantly perceived, in the twilight of its impact, by the great Lord Acton (one of the few figures in the history of thought who, charmingly, grew more radical as he grew older).
The liberal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries ushered in the era of "democracy," in which the society of contract replaced the society of status in the economic sphere.
Since the worldwide "democratization" project is bound to end in failure, and is even now failing in every country it has been tried, one has to question the motives of its authors.

If the Democrats' inflation rates had continued all these years, a family of four would now be paying an average of $200 a month more for food and over $300 a month more for housing.
The Democrats would drag us back to those dreadful years when inflation was robbing workers of their earnings, consumers of their spending power, and families of their savings.
It is the result of Democrat policies in the 1960s and 1970s that disrupted mental health care, family stability, low-cost housing, and the authority of towns and cities to deal with people in need.

Because liberals recognize that America is not immune to imperial temptation, we build in the restraints that distinguish us from the predatory powers of the past.
