  liberalism - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about liberalism
Liberalism developed during the 17th to 19th centuries as the distinctive theory of the industrial and commercial classes in their struggle against the power of the monarchy, the church, and the feudal landowners.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries its ideas were modified by the acceptance of universal suffrage (voting rights for all citizens) and a certain amount of state intervention in economic affairs, in order to ensure a minimum standard of living and to remove extremes of poverty and wealth.
Liberalism is not a sin, it is a necessary part of a great whole, which whole would collapse and fall to pieces without it.

 One World, Rival Theories
Liberalism highlights the cooperative potential of mature democracies, especially when working together through effective institutions, but it also notes democracies' tendency to crusade against tyrannies and the propensity of emerging democracies to collapse into violent ethnic turmoil.
Liberals foresee a slow but inexorable journey away from the anarchic world the realists envision, as trade and finance forge ties between nations, and democratic norms spread.
Many liberals also believe that the rule of law and transparency of democratic processes make it easier to sustain international cooperation, especially when these practices are enshrined in multilateral institutions.

Armenia's choice of Russia as a guarantor of its security has been hitherto met with understanding by Western countries, and today, normally developing relations unite Yerevan to several Western capitals.
Iran is however an extremely important neighbor for Armenia, and the strategic value of friendly relations with Iran is multiplied under the present circumstances of the blockade of Armenia by Azerbaijan and Turkey.
In this context, the most complicated impediments hindering Armenia's integration into the EU are the low level of democracy, the existence of numerous obstacles standing in the way of free competition in the sphere of market relations, along with the low level of the development of the economy, and the unresolved Karabakh conflict.

 Lenin: The Separation of Liberalism from Democracy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The separation of liberalism from democracy in Russia is one of the basic questions of the entire emancipation movement.
Liberalism could not have “separated from democracy” in foreign policy if it was not separated from democracy in home policy.
One of the main causes of the weakness of the Russian emancipation movement is the lack of understanding of this truth by the broad sections of the petty bourgeoisie in general, and by petty-bourgeois politicians, writers and ideological leaders in particular.

But all across the globe, liberalism as such is perhaps the most important feature of successful societies.
All of that is why I am convinced that liberalism is a universal doctrine, the most basic premise of which is to oppose dogmatism in any form.
Whatever is bothersome about the “neo” part, liberalism as such appears to be nothing less than the key to allowing a society to operate successfully in the modern, globalized world.

 The Democratic Delusion- by Justin Raimondo
Political ideologies were polarized, with liberalism on the extreme 'left,' and conservatism on the extreme 'right,' of the ideological spectrum.
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.

Because of the sensitivity of what appears to be an artificial division of the Yezidi in Armenia in ways that do not exist to such an extent elsewhere I’ve always made my interviews on the subject freely available so people can read everything that was said and make their own mind up.
The discussion of the topic on universal human rights in the context of religious values (which were referred as rules of morals and ethics by TV-show participants) brought to the conclusion that the progress of those rights in the west resulted in the crisis of western civilization, in the crisis of morals and social ethics.
It was even said that liberalism was to blame for the crisis in the west, and the west is jealous that Russia has escaped from liberalism.

In the context of the chaos of the Caucasus, Armenia’s occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is Azerbaijani territory, opened the road for Turkish-Armenian foreign relations to enter an undesirable phase.
In just this way, Armenia’s Haidat-Supreme Court Justice Seyran Baand#351;dayaryan, made a statement at the 85th so-called genocide ceremony held in Moscow which pronounced that Armenia’s demands are that Turkey be condemned without limits for the guilt of a genocide carried out against all humanity.
On the contrary, two neighbour countries Armenia and Turkey should adopt liberal and mild rapprochement policies with the awareness of the destruction and economic depression brought by the war and should be able to see that there are more interests to be considered.

 UNHCR - Armenia: After the 1996 Presidential Elections
The Republic of Armenia covers an area of 29,800 km square and has an estimated population of 3.6 million, of whom 93.3 per cent are ethnic Armenians, 1.5 per cent Russians, 1.7 per cent Kurds, and 3.5 per cent Assyrians, Greeks or others.
Another factor obstructing the development of the ARF in Armenia is the differences in mentality and experience between Armenians from the diaspora, who speak "West-Armenian" and are well integrated into western society, and the East-Armenians who have been brought up in the Soviet Union.
In Armenia the transition from Soviet rule to independence was a relatively smooth process in which the new elite of triumphant nationalists was able to win over and co-opt a large part of the communist nomenklatura.

I believe that if a nation is not clearly inclined towards despotism, then liberal values are not foreign to it and they result in socio-cultural, if not economic, progress.
Liberalism today is understood as a means of economic liberalization.
Nevertheless, among the political elite one group dominates, which has adopted new standards of political behavior, because even the political forces that represent nationalistic, militaristic principles are more inclined to take steps in line with the standards of political conduct that are dictated by the current political necessity.

 RIA Novosti - Opinion & analysis - Russia's emerging patriotic liberalism
Russia’s liberal agenda is not dead; rumors of its passage are premature.
In fact, an authentic Russian liberal agenda is only now beginning to form, and it does not need the traditional liberalism of the intelligentsia, or today's nationalist agenda.
What limits the widespread appeal of Russia’s nationalists and liberals is their self-identification, and their sense of exclusivity from each other; Russia’s nationalists aren't liberal, and the liberals aren’t nationalists.

 A Reply to My Critics - Francis Fukuyama
But events in the spring of 1989 proved that liberal political ideas have a life and an appeal of their own, however heterogeneous the views of the students who occupied the square.
Even the security that liberal societies bring is a two-edged sword, since there is a side of man that despises a riskless life, that seeks danger and heroism and sacrifice.
The critique of liberalism from the Right, which was alluded to in the commentaries by Bloom and Hassner, has a long and respectable philosophical lineage.[7] It is also politically dangerous, because it points to continuing "contradictions" in the Hegelian sense that liberal societies have not completely resolved, and which could yet result in their undoing.

 Cold War Liberalism: - by Joseph Stromberg
Brands' claim is that the apparent triumph of modern American liberalism in the period from 1933 into the 1970s was something of an illusion.
While New Deal liberalism was welcomed – quite incorrectly – as having cured the Great Depression and functioned for Americans as the official public ideology of World War II, its longer success owed everything to a set of events which prevented a return to "normalcy" in the late 1940s.
Effectively, Ike was a domestic liberal, says Brands, bringing in liberal initiatives under the Cold War banner: interstate highways, federal aid to education, etc. The style reached its high point under Kennedy and Johnson.
