Discussion on the role of liberalism

National Center for Strategic Thought held hearings on the topic: "Crisis: global and local factors."  According to the philosopher Abulhasan Abbasov, the causes of the global crisis  are due to the crisis of liberalism, which is the ideological core of world capitalism. Liberal current in  their  time played an important role in the approval of individual freedoms and human rights. However,  since  the 50-ies of the twentieth century forming  of the oligarchic liberalism began, and gradually  the began the violation of the principles  of human rights. "Since the end of the last century liberals began to push the mercantile interests of human rights on the back burner. In today's world, business interests prevail over other issues," he said.

However, Isa Gambar,  the head of the National Center for Strategic Thought, believes that this  is the crisis of  not liberalism, but of  common development of mankind. He did not agree with the fact that Europeans  protect only their human rights. On the contrary, today  Europe realizes that if human rights are not ensured everywhere, the civilized world will not be able to live in peace.

The crisis in Azerbaijan is not connected with the processes in the world, and it  is the result of incompetent management, he said. The participants of the discussion  agreed that there is no alternative to liberalism worldwide.-05C-
