DEMOCRATIC VALUES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION: AN ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

Liberal democracy is not just a system of government it is a way of life. Establishing liberal democracy as a way of life is essential for the success of liberal democratic governance. Liberal democratic values are democracy, liberty, rights, justice, equality, fundamental duties of citizens, tolerance, secularism, peaceful dialogue, political pluralism, law, fraternity, etc. The society in which these shots will be developed will be liberal democratic society. Democratic society is a prerequisite for liberal democratic state. Nominal liberal democracy is worthless. Liberal democratic values are the political culture of a liberal democratic society. So the political socialization of liberal democratic values is essential. If the process of political socialization is weak, liberal democracy will become nominal.
