 Overheads til 7
Applying [this] point to the present problem: while Neutrality excludes a broad range of normative argument from the practice of liberal politics, it does not follow that these arguments should also be excluded when the subject is the justification of the entire practice of liberal argument, considered as a whole.
Remark that Ackerman deftly avoids to discuss why neutrality, equality, etc., is not the subject of due scepticism.
Indeed, it would be a category mistake to imagine that there could be a Neutral justification for the practice of Neutral justification – for Neutrality makes no sense except as a part of the practice it constitutes.

 Sweden (10/04)
While some argued that it went against Sweden's historic policy of neutrality (Sweden had not joined the EU during the Cold War because it was incompatible with neutrality), others viewed the move as a natural extension of the economic cooperation that had been going on since 1972 with the EU.
Sweden suffered further territorial losses during the Napoleonic wars and was forced to cede Finland to Russia in 1809.
Sweden's predominantly agricultural economy shifted gradually from village to private farm-based agriculture during the Industrial Revolution, but this change failed to bring economic and social improvements proportionate with the rate of population growth.

 History & Policy - Policy Papers
Faced with the threat of Nazism in the summer of 1940, members of the British cabinet came round to the idea that, to defeat it, it would be helpful to convince Ireland to give up its neutrality and join the Allies.
The strongest argument against this is the rediscovery of a Unionist past which cannot be reduced to confessional, reactionary politics or simplistic and increasingly obsolete notions of 'siege mentality'.
The valuable contributions of both Unionist and Nationalist MPs to the Parliamentary debate over the Iraq question demonstrates that involvement in a political world that operates outside the barriers of the Irish question is still a highly valued facet of the British connection.

 Captain's Log: Permanent armed neutrality for the US?
Here is a very odd post which proposes that the United States should adopt the traditional Swiss foreign policy maxime of permanent armed neutrality.
But after some strategic defeats, the virtue of neutrality in my view is a lack of opportunity rather than a deliberate policy decision.
Being liberal in the classical European sense, I very much believe in the non-coercion principle promoted by Perry, but this principle unfortunately has a very weak standing in the world of international politics, which ultimately is about power, i.e.

 Declaration of Dependence: A Strategy to Reclaim America -NRA
Proposing that America was founded as, and should be again, a Christian nation will bring us into conflict with liberal humanists and even those in the church who are committed to a pietistic ideology of neutrality.

It's a battle between the "Confessing Church," those who believe Jesus is Lord over all the earth in time and history--and dispensationalists and liberals, those who will not confess that Jesus is now Lord over all.

 Denmark (02/05)
Denmark remained neutral during World War I. Despite its declaration of neutrality at the beginning of World War II, it was invaded by the Germans in 1940 and occupied until liberated by the Allied forces in May 1945.
The Danish liberal movement gained momentum in the 1830s, and in 1849 Denmark became a constitutional monarchy.

 National Liberal Party (Romania) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Liberal Party also supports the neutrality of the state in moral and religious issues, as well as the privatisation and denationalisation of the economy, a trend which is currently taking place quite rapidly in Romania, as in other post-communist economies.
The party adheres to the doctrine of liberalism, advocating both economic and social liberalisation.
However, it is the largest member of the governing Justice and Truth alliance, which enjoys a parliamentary majority due to an alliance between the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party, the Conservative Party and the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania.

 The Liberal State, (Ackerman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberal State is a paper written by Bruce A. Ackerman on the topic of social justice given scarcity in society.
In this paper Ackerman gives an argument on how several principles, rationality, consistency, neutrality, and undominated equality can result in a conversational method that can determine the legitimacy of the use of power by an individual over a given resource.
Ackerman starts his argument with the idea that there are a scarce amount of resources in society, and people will conflict over these scarce resources.

 Switzerland (07/05)
Traditionally, Switzerland has avoided alliances that might entail military, political, or direct economic action, but in recent years the Swiss have broadened the scope of activities in which they feel able to participate without compromising their neutrality.
Switzerland is a federal state composed of 26 cantons (20 are "full" cantons and six "half" cantons for purposes of representation in the federal legislature) that retain attributes of sovereignty, such as fiscal autonomy and the right to manage internal cantonal affairs.
Switzerland had previously been involved as party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice and member of most UN specialized agencies as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Overview of the Sweden Economy : Aided by peace and neutrality for the whole 20th century, Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.
Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system interlarded with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment, rising maintenance costs, and a declining position in world markets.
Sweden Background: A military power during the 17th century, Sweden has not participated in any war in almost two centuries.

 Dialogue and Moral Disagreement
Ackerman often seems to make the opponent of the dialoguer who says what he (Ackerman) wants to say make stupid conversational moves which no real person would ever make, e.g., blatantly silly violations of the Neutrality constraint, such as "I'm better than you," after which Ackerman's champion can declare victory.
In some cases their ways of precluding moral positions from ending up on the political agenda are less satisfactory than the traditional liberal way.
While Ackerman indicates that the "point" of his version of dialogue is to address the liberal "problem of public order," (Ackerman 1989, p.

 A Refutation of Anti-Perfectionist or 'Neutralist’ Liberalism
Thus, the net result of the neutrality constraint is to rob liberal discourse of intellectual transparency and rigour, and to impose unreasonable constraints upon political discourse in the liberal state.
For if it were considered to be murder by legislators and courts or putatively neutral liberals, it would never be permitted, as a matter of principle.
Constructing a liberal theory in such a way that it must be seen as "yet another controversial and partisan vision of the good life" [26], the anti-perfectionist argues, is not a viable response to moral and social disagreement as we encounter it today.

Unlucky nations are targeted for a wide variety of reasons: not only threats to American business interests abroad, but also liberal or even moderate social reforms, political instability, the unwillingness of a leader to carry out Washington’s dictates, and declarations of neutrality in the Cold War.
The victims are said to be "communists," but almost always they are just peasants, liberals, moderates, labor union leaders, political opponents and advocates of free speech and democracy.

 Why School Choice Is Constitutional
Curiously, though, the neutrality model flows from egalitarian principles that are firmly rooted in liberal traditions.
The U.S. Supreme Court's own precedents are themselves in tension: In the 1970s, liberal Supreme Court majorities, often led by Justices Brennan and Marshall, seemed to suggest that the Constitution does require such discrimination, but the 1980s and 1990s saw a slow retreat from this position and towards a neutrality model.
Some even argue that neutrality is constitutionally compelled: that the government may not exclude religious schools from school choice programs, because it may not treat people or institutions either better or worse because of their religiosity.
