The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has become a focus of
discussion across the world. Political leaders, in the US, Europe,
Asia and Latin America claim to be following its principles. Yet the
notion has also attracted much criticism. Some say it is an empty
concept without any real content. Critics from the more traditional
left argue that it is a betrayal of left-wing ideals. Anthony
Giddens's The Third Way (Polity Press, 1998) is regarded by many as
the key text of third way politics. Translated into twenty-five
languages, it has shaped the development of the third way. In this new
book Giddens responds to the critics, and further develops the ideas
set out in his earlier volume. Far from being unable to deal with
inequalities of wealth and power, he shows, third way politics offers
the only feasible approach to these issues. The work is indispensable
for anyone who wants to understand the most important political debate
going on today. Anthony Giddens is the Director of the London School
of Economics and Political Science. He is the author or editor of over
thirty books. His previous works, especially Beyond Left and Right
(Polity Press, 1994) have influenced debates about the future of
social democracy in many countries across the world. Frequently
referred to in the UK as Tony Blair's guru, Giddens has made a strong
impact on the evolution of New Labour.
