 Al-Ahram Weekly | Opinion | A liberal future?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Liberalism is a relatively new term in the Arab lexicon, and one often misunderstood by the public.
This is why liberalism is closely linked to the supremacy of the law and the constitution and is often referred to as legal or constitutional liberalism.
It has the ability, therefore, to become a genuine model of a liberal, modernising state in the region, whereby reforms are launched in a wide diversity of areas, and the active participation of a multiplicity of intellectual and political tendencies is mobilised and encouraged, thus initiating a cultural and political revival.

 The Future of Liberal Internationalism | TPMCafe
This past weekend, a group of scholars and journalists gathered at the University of Texas in Austin to debate the future of America’s commitment to liberal internationalism.
Liberal internationalism – in its multifaceted and Western-centered synthesis – could be supported by liberal idealists, free traders, New Dealers, hard-headed geo-strategists, and democratic unionists.
While future American administrations may not adopt the arrogant and intimidating attitude of the Bush administration, the bigger picture suggests to me one of a world-wide trend toward conservatism, not liberalism.

 Guardian | Lib Dems of the future
Liberal Future believes the key to Lib Dems' electoral progress depends on retaining our existing seats and winning seats from both Labour and the Tories.

 THE FUTURE OF LIBERAL ADULT EDUCATION IN EUROPE / TSL-artikkeli   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
In the future, it seems likely that that the tendency of people to commit to the same communities and organizations for a lifetime will lessen, and the responsability for their activities will be carried increasingly small core groups.
The future of liberal adult education in Europe is also largely dependant on the role a civil society based on volunteer activities will have in the coming years.
The distinctive charasteristics of liberal adult education are ultimately going to depend on how deeply the educational institutions and organizations of liberal adult education believe in their own mission and how much they invest in developing the distinctive charasteristics of their activities.

 The Future of the Liberal Arts
While there is no argument here as to the importance of a strong Liberal Arts education and how it is valued among business leaders, there does seem to be a perception gap between what we hear from companies, and what we hear from parents and students.
We are willing and able to invest in our future and Liberal Arts have been re-invented at this leading institution.
Between focusing on strengths, investing in our future through facilities and technology, and combined promoting of our programs, the future of Liberal Arts at MSU should be stronger.

 The Future of Liberal Christianity
To a point, however, accommodation to culture is appropriate to the liberal church, particularly in attempting to understand the Christian faith from the perspective and insights of the arts and sciences of the time.
The liberal church’s success in the future will depend very much on whether liberal clergy have a vision to express; whether they will be able to appeal to people’s moral imagination.
As I stated earlier, liberal Christianity is a middle road between Christ and culture in that it seeks to understand culture, not remove itself from modern science or the arts.

 liberal positive future vision
Rush Limbaugh says that Liberals live and function in the past, just reacting to republicans, that we liberals have no vision for the future, how to make the world better, no plans, while he and George Bush are the ones who envision the future.
The liberals and progressives are the people in this world who are envisioning the positive stories of America's and the world's future.

 Religion & the Future of Liberal Politics
Liberals oppose the above accommodations on the grounds that, first, they are contrary to the separation of church and state; second, they often violate the personal autonomy of non-group members.
On the second point, Galston observes that a liberal pluralism, a liberal pluralist conception, unlike the possessive individualism or heavy stress in autonomy, recognizes that the propensity to throw state power behind the promotion of individual autonomy is not neutral, but can undermine others’ identity.
Any liberal argument that invokes autonomy as a general rule of public action in effect takes sides on the ongoing struggle between secularism and religion.

 Education | Charles Kennedy's speech to Liberal Future
We Liberal Democrats believe that it is time to increase freedom in our universities and colleges.
One of the reasons that our economy has not performed as well as it might have done is because we have invested less in education and training than our competitors.

 The Radical Future of Liberal Feminism by Zillah Eisenstein
The Radical Future of Liberal Feminism by Zillah Eisenstein
The modernization of the law, or the liberalization of it, reflects a transition within patriarchy, instead of its demise.
Nevertheless, these dimensions of women's lives have been relegated to the "private sphere" by liberal patriarchal ideology, and she is maintained and limited to this sphere by her exclusion from the market, which has become a new tool of patriarchal control.

 HAYEK'S LEGACY AND THE FUTURE OF LIBERAL THOUGHT
The fact that Hayek's rational liberalism is mainly expressed in some of his earlier writings, while the evolutionary theme has become increasingly prominent in his later writings, has led some critics to conclude that the evolutionary argument represents the more mature version of Hayek's liberalism.
Classical liberalism clearly had a reformist thrust, and with his efforts to provide a modern restatement of the philosophy of classical liberalism Hayek aimed, no less than the classical founders, at portraying the fundamental principles of a desirable social order, and at identifying provisions that are required to establish and maintain such an order.
It suggests a liberal perspective that emphasizes the positive task of liberal legislation in providing an appropriate institutional framework for market competition and cultural evolution, without taking on the rationalist arrogance that is the target of Hayek's critique of rational constructivism.

 Cayman Net News: The Neo-liberal Future
The world economy has been through a period of economic liberalization.
Using Jamaica as a case in point, it is evidence that the adoption of neo-liberal economic policies in the 1990s has been a failure.
The liberalization of the Jamaican economy has led to the influx of cheap foreign imports of all sorts, widening the current account deficit (imports exceeding exports) and promoting the depreciation of the Jamaican dollar.

 NJ Jewish News | Secular Jews consider liberal future at Rutgers-Newark confab
With a broad array of topics, ranging from anti-Semitism to Yiddish humor, from race relations and the war in Iraq to the Jewish influence in popular music, some 150 secular Jews from 10 states and four Canadian provinces gathered over Memorial Day weekend at the Paul Robeson Center on the Newark campus of Rutgers University.
Although in theory joined only by a philosophy that puts Jewish culture and history ahead of religious belief, in practice the gathering reflected — sometimes critically — the largely liberal politics of its organizers and attendees.
In her address, “Anti-Semitism, a Progressive Jewish Perspective,” Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz, founding director of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, said she was troubled by manifestations of anti-Jewish attitudes on the Left.
