.@teddyboylocsin: We live in extremely dynamic times—autocratic and subversive regimes will eventually be under immense strain and crisis. History does show that open, responsible, and adaptive systems of #governance have the best chance of success.

#Raisina2022

.@stephenharper: We need a new generation of leadership to address the stress governments find themselves under. But the future of the #liberalorder is not as bleak as it is often made out to be.

#Raisina2022

.@PandaJay: #Liberalism isn’t what it used to be. The debate on what #freespeech is, moderating content on #internet-based platforms, etc. are just some instances of how the concept and its functioning have changed in modern times.

#Raisina2022

.@PandaJay: In #India, those who call themselves liberal, stand for certain principles that are similar to no other country in the world, particularly those on the left of centre politics which is distinct from classical western #liberalvalues.

Jane Holl Lute: I do not think that there is anyone in this world who does not yearn to be free. I would say that #democracy is thriving via #liberalvalues of freedom and #equality under the rule of law.

#Raisina2022

Jane Holl Lute: What we see around us today is a redefining of the “we” or the authorisation, which is leading to the trampling of #liberalvalues taking us back to almost the 1930s.

#Raisina2022

.@teddyboylocsin: What is important is to remember that the #democratic process, via the conduct of #elections, is not jeopardised by the actions and threats of extreme politics.

#Raisina2022

.@carlbildt: The fact that we have debates on the nature of #governance is the strength of #liberal societies, which is entirely absent in countries like #Russia and #China.

#Raisina2022

.@stephenharper: We need a new generation of leadership to address the stress governments find themselves under. But the future of the #liberalorder is not as bleak as it is often made out to be.

#Raisina2022

.@stephenharper: Over time, global alliances have developed shared #value systems and #governance frameworks which have enabled us to face unilateral threats such as the invasion of #Ukraine by #Russia.

#Raisina2022

.@stephenharper: There was never any evidence that #China was moving towards a #liberal system. The narrative of End of History, over 30 years ago, was presumptive that the whole world would subscribe to the liberal order.
