Liberal democracy is, strictly speaking, a form of representative democracy where the political power of the government is moderated by a constitution which protects the rights and freedoms of individuals and minorities (also called constitutional liberalism).
Liberal democracy is sometimes the de facto form of government, while other forms are technically the case; for example, Canada has a monarchy, but is in fact ruled by a democratically elected Parliament.
The most liberal of the many criteria now used to define liberal democracy (or simply 'democracy'), is the requirement for political pluralism, which is usually defined as the presence of multiple and distinct political parties.

 Poverty, Global Inequality and the Foundations of a Redistribution Policy
The aim of Political Liberalism is concrete: it is concerned with the elaboration of principles for the continuity of liberal society, a task which Part Three of Theory of Justice did not satisfactorily accomplish (according to Rawls) with the idea of a well-ordered society.
As liberalism must tolerate all such views, except "unreasonable, irrational and even mad comprehensive doctrines", the overriding requirement for the continuity of a liberal society is a political conception of justice, which would be an overlapping consensus on toleration, the rule of law, and legitimate and peaceful political practice and dissent.
The aim of Political Liberalism is to elaborate principles for the implementation and continuity of a liberal society.

 CWIS - The Fourth World Journal - Strategies in "Ethnic" Conflict by Gevork Ter-Gabrielian
Liberals, on the other hand, made that assumption based not only on the requirements of effective governance, where nationalist ideology would provide a glue to fill up gaps in the fabric of general will or social contract, but also precisely because they would entitle each nation to a right to statehood.
If states are not liberal by their ideology, if they are not economically secure and politically well-established democracies, they tend to reject the option of accommodation to the demands of ethnic groups.
Ethnic groups' demands to enhance their status are not merely a result of irrational proliferation of the ideology of nationalism; rather they are a reaction to the inability and inflexibility of the nation-states' framework in guaranteeing a fair distribution of power and rights among all the significant group actors within the states.

 Neoliberalism - Knowmore
Neoliberalism is not a version of the new liberalism of John Dewey, Woodrow Wilson, John Maynard Keynes, Franklin Roosevelt, or the British Liberal Democrats, which advocated limited intervention in the economy as a tool to benifit people.
Critics state that neoliberal policies give multinational corporations power over democratically elected governments, as these corporations can use their abilities to withdraw or infuse capital (and therefore affect jobs and the economy) as a tool to have governments do as they say.
This is particularly true in developing nations whose assets have been sold off to foreigners and whose domestic political and economic institutions had been undermined by the effects of being exposed to trade and rapid flows of capital.

During this period, Marx wrote many poems and essays concerning life, using the theological language acquired from his liberal, deistic father, such as "the Deity," but also absorbed the atheistic philosophy of the Young Hegelians who were prominent in Berlin at the time.
Marx earned a doctorate in 1841 with a thesis titled The Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature, but he had to submit his dissertation to the University of Jena as he was warned that his reputation among the faculty as a Young Hegelian radical would lead to a poor reception in Berlin.

 Social liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social liberals are outspoken defenders of their idea of "human rights" and "civil liberties", and combine this with support for a mixed economy, with a state providing public services.
Social liberals value liberty, rights and freedoms, and private property as fundamental to individual happiness, and regard democracy as an instrument to maintain a society where each individual enjoys the greatest amount of liberty possible (subject to the Harm Principle).

 Culture Abstracts at The Idea Channel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)

They candidly discuss the often condescending view of the West towards the Balkan states and raise troubling questions about the West's apparent hypocrisy vis-a-vis self-determination as evidenced by the discrepancy between some Western states' principles and self-interest, their application of different standards to different would-be states, and their tendency to change the rules mid-game.
