Q. 1. What is the liberal perspective on development ?

Ans. Liberalism as an ideology and a social philosophy, which emerged in 17th and 18th century Europe. Its central claim is, that the form or structure of society should be be determined by the outcome of processes, which are interactive, and open to all members of society. The free market, and multi-party liberal democracy, is the best known examples of liberal process. Liberalism, together with nationalism, can be considered as the foundational ideology of modern western states: liberal-democratic nation-states with a market economy. ‘Liberal’ refers not only to ideology and political parties, but to a historically unique form of society. On that ground alone, it cannot be simply identified with ‘freedom’–a form of society is not a freedom as such. The practice of political liberalism is often repressive anyway, but even in its theory liberalism is not an advocacy of absolute liberty, nor of individualist ethical egoism
