The author analyses the concept of liberal democracy as an issue of political philosophy. The liberal democracy is considered as a form of governance with the consent of the people, which is also explicitly assigned value dimension. Western democratic political system derives its legitimacy from a commitment to promoting liberal values (freedom, equality, solidarity). The author expresses sceptically about the possibility of implementing liberal values within the boundaries of global capitalism.
