'There is now a global attempt to apply progressive values in new
ways. The debate about the Third Way is vital to politics in the
21st century. This book is an important contribution to the
debate.' Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
'This is a crucial period for the European Union. We need new
thinking about democracy and economic development. Tony Giddens
gives us some vital clues about how to achieve these aims.' Romano
Prodi, President of the European Commission
'The third way debate has become a truly world-wide one, affecting
all countries. It has shown a convergence of ideas, together with a
diversity of policies. This book marks a major further development
in the evolution of the left.' Fernando Henrique Cardoso, President
of Brazil
'Anthony Giddens has done more than most to insert globalization
into the modern-day political vocabulary. His The Third Way and its
Critics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand new
Labour.' Mark Perryman, New Statesman
'Giddens aims his new book specifically at critics on the left. It
begins with an excellent summary of their views: with impressive
honesty they are forcefully advanced rather than caricatured ...
This book is written in a lively manner and discusses much
interesting and important material.' Democratization
