There are libertarian movements in several countries aside from the US
already as well as Libertarian Parties. Some of these include Canada
(http://www.libertarian.ca/), Great Britain (see
http://www.digiweb.com/igeldard/LA/), and New Zealand (see
http://www.libertarianz.org.nz/).

A search on Yahoo! should probably turn up many others I'm not aware of.

I used to be more into promoting political ideas internationally. I think
the thing to do is find like minded people and start meeting and formulating
plans. Obviously, I would urge caution if you're in a country where such
activities might be banned or might backfire. (By the later is meant that
other groups might attack one.)

I also suggest you contact libertarians in the aforementioned countries to
see how they did it -- to the extent they were and are successful.
