The Global Third Way Debate Summary

The Global Third Way Debate by Giddens

The term 'third way' has become a widely accepted, if controversial, label understood by many modernizing social democrats to refer to the left's attempts at ideological and policy innovation. The debate that has arisen around these developments is a truly world-wide one, from the US and Europe through to Asia, Australasia and Latin America.
