Summary/Abstract: The research conducted in this paper had a goal to investigate, clarify, determine the differentiating element which includes the separation of liberalism, as the civil society’s initial stage, from political, economic, legal organization of a society in a situation where the principles of bourgeois epoch regulate post-liberalism and global flows of civil integration through its validity. The liberalism is associated with the affirmation o f human and civil rights, equality and freedom, for which there are factual and ideological reasons and their concrete implementation and respect based on the inviolability of the same rights of others. Within the implementation of civil dependencies and enabling economic coercion, the basis of liberalism undoubtedly leads in providing the prerequisites for achieving political freedom, legal equality and economic justice. By setting and dynamizing certain civil relations, liberalism as a stage has affirmed civil rights and liberties crucially shaped by the concept of appropriate ways and motives of economic relations. A key feature of civil society, and thus liberalism, which split with the feudal formation is the establishing the produced relations, the constitution of the development on the principles of civil dependence and economic coercion. Principles and dependence are determiners of civil society, civic order and development, and precisely with its development civil society changes the base, which in regards with the many determinants, different characters, generated contradictions, antagonisms, their expression and possible resolution, or overcoming, include significantly upgraded the validity of principles. Thus liberalism is a form of civic and economic activity, the prominence of the period, as opposed to the role, functions of differently predominant well-established principles of civic organizations. In this establishment, more advanced organization of civic domination, retained the principles of bourgeois liberalism, i.e. their functions included in the activity of integration flows and separate from achievable aspects of domination of these flows, provide support to the basic infrastructure of global integration. Certain civic standpoint, their appropriate vocabulary, by reconstructing relevant facts and historical facts of the development, maintaining and providing things and the emergence of the civil process, whether its development adapts to a certain scheme or permeating civic development with the scheme, by customized presentation of creating and production o f civil relations these relations introduce a mourning game of glass beads.
