It is central to the notion of humanitarian intervention, which has dragged Western nations into war since the 18th century. It was successfully mobilised to found the welfare state. And it is now a buzzword for the nativists being swept to power across the world鈥ven if the urge for freedom speaks to something deep within us, what it means changes from place to place, and from one generation to the next.
