Liberalism in Europe
Liberalism in Europe is a political movement that supports a broad tradition of individual liberties and constitutionally-limited and democratically accountable government.
Liberalism in Europe is broadly divided into two groups: "social" (or "left-") and "conservative" (or "right-").
The sources listed below serve to illustrate some of the current liberal attitudes in Europe: Additionally, liberal value preferences can be inferred from the liberalisation programmes and policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
The liberalism visible in these sources emphasizes in comparison with other ideologies more belief in individual development as a motor for society and the state providing a social safety net.
