Abstract
The paper attempts identifying and analyzing one of the directions of the evolution of the modern Western-style democracy in conditions of information and telecommunication revolution and globalization.

The author substantiates the thesis that a part of the Western intellectual establishment and political elite tries to regenerate liberalism into libertarianism, and the extreme variants of human rights and freedoms are dominating in the in the contemporary interpretation of democracy
