<p>Mrazkan8: /* Tony Blair's Interpretation of the Third Way */</p> <hr /> <div>Term coined by New Labour, indicating that the party seeks a compromise between heartless [[Neoliberalism|neo-liberalism]] and humanitarian socialism. <br /> <br /> <br /> == The Third Way as a Political Theory ==<br /> <br /> New concepts in politics and economy are often described as the Third Way - a political theory or ideology that lies in between two traditional, political approaches. First of all, the Third Way was seen as a compromise between capitalism and communism. Nowadays, it also characterises a middle course between to political camps or ideologies within one political system. With [[Tony Blair]] becoming Prime Minister on May 2 1997 the concept of the Third Way reappeared on the stage of politics. The term became more of a symbol for the transformation and modernisation of [[social democracy]], rather than a simple alternative to the two old ways of socialism and capitalism.<br /> <br /> [[Anthony Giddens]], director of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE), defines it as an attempt to unite socialist and neo-liberal ideas and as a chance to deepen and widen democracy. Thereby, the Third Way is neo-liberal in terms of the economy, conservative in terms of values and it redefines democratic socialism by tending to a more [[communitarianism|communitarian philosophy]] (Sandner, 105).<br /> <br /> == Tony Blair's Interpretation of the Third Way ==<br /> <br /> Tony Blair and [[New Labour]] adopted and adapted Anthony Giddens's theory. Blair as well as Giddens point out that the Third Way arises out of all changes within our postmodern world and economy, reacts to it and tries to balance the development of business with the needs of society. The overall aim of third-way politics should be to "help citizens pilot their way through the major revolutions of our time: globalization, transformations in personal life and our relationship to nature" as Giddens expresses it (quoted in Kamm & Lenz, 360). To reach this aim certain values are needed, which were named by Julian le Grand (LSE), and which Tony Blair himself names in his book ''New Britain - My Vision of a Young Country'' as the key elements of New Labour politics:<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. A belief in the value of community<br /> <br /> It is the central topic and claims that institutions and idividuals should work together in a new relationship where rights and obligations between individuals and the community are redefined. Tony Blair indentifies it as one of the most important aspects in New Labour politics because "a nation, like a community, must work together in order for individuals within it to succeed" (Blair, 36).<br /> <br /> <br /> 2. A commitment to equality of opportunity<br /> <br /> According to Blair this can only be done if a society of opportunity is "built around a strong and stable economy in which all of us have a stake" and therefore, a dynamic market economy should be strengthened by a "partnership between government and industry, between employeer and employee, and between public and private sector" (Blair, 39-40).<br /> <br /> <br /> 3. An emphasis on responsibility<br /> <br /> Responsibility is closly connected with community because it "is a shared value. If it doesn't apply to everyone it ends up applying to no one" (Blair, 42-43). Individuals, as well as institutions, politicans and employers, have to face the fact that we live in a social community within a globalized world where we have to work together rather than against each other.<br /> <br /> <br /> 4. A belief in accountability<br /> <br /> Not clearly defined it is hard to distinguish accountability from responsibility. Fact is that it is a component of liberal rule of law: "For just as individuals are responsible to society, organisations especially public bodies will be held to account like never before." (UK Politics, BBC)<br /> <br /> <br /> Consequentially, Blair's definition of the 'Third Way' is a redefinition of socialism which is not a fixed theory for now and forever but which is "a set of values and principles definable for all time" (Blair, 31) - equally applicable on the general of the Third Way.<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> <br /> UK Politics - What is the Third Way?

Thereby, the 'Third Way' is neo-liberal in terms of economy, conservative in terms of values and it redefines democratic socialism by tending to a more [[communitarian philosophy]].<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Tony Blair - his interpretation of the 'Third Way' ==<br /> <br /> Third way politics Tony Blair and [[New Labour]] stand for mainly base on Anthony Giddens' theory. Blair as well as Giddens point out that the 'Third Way' arises out of all changes within our postmodern world and economy, reacts to it and tries to balance the development of business with the needs of society. The overall aim of third way politics should be to "help citizens pilot their way through the major revolutions of our time: globalization, transformations in personal life and our relationship to nature" as Giddens expresses it (Kamm, 360). To reach this aim certain values are needed, which were named by Julian le Grand (LSE), and which Tony Blair himself names in his book "New Britain - My Vision of a Young Country" as the key elements of New Labour politics:<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. "A belief in the value of community" <br /> <br /> It is the central topic and claims that institutions and idividuals should work togehter in a new relationship where rights and obligations between individuals and the community are redefined. Tony Blair indentifies it as one of the most important aspects in New Labour politics because "a nation, like a community, must work together in order for individuals within it to succeed." (Blair, 36)<br /> <br /> <br /> 2. "A commitment to equality of opportunity"<br /> <br /> According to Blair this can only be done if a society of opportunity is "build around a strong and stable economy in which all of us have a stake." Therefore, a dynamic market economy should be strengthend by a "partnership between government and industry, between employeer and employee, and between public and private sector." (Blair, 39f.)<br /> <br /> <br /> 3. "An emphasis on responsibility"<br /> <br /> Responsibility is closly connected with community because it "is a shared value. If it doesn't aplly to everyone it ends up applying to no one." (Blair, 42f.) Individuals, as well as institutions, politicans and employers, have to face the fact that we live in a social community within a globalized world where we have to work together rather than against <br /> each other.<br /> <br /> <br /> 4. "A belief in accountability"<br /> <br /> [...]<br /> <br /> <br /> To sum up, Blair's definition of the 'Third Way' is a redefinition of socialism which is not a fixed theory for now and forever but which is "a set of values and principles definable for all time" (Blair, 31) - equally applicable on the general of the "Third Way'.<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> <br /> UK Politics - What is the Third Way?

<p>Mrazkan8: </p> <hr /> <div>Label given to the Labour Party under [[Tony Blair]]. The adjective 'new' refers to a change of policies and self-image in the direction of a social democratic party (as opposed to the socialist and working-class 'Old' Labour Party). <br /> <br /> <br /> In the 1990s, mainly during the leadership of [[Tony Blair]], the Labour Party was trying to strengthen their appeal to middle-class voters and thereby shifting from the (working-class) left to the "radical centre". This included a compromise formation between neo-liberal monetarism (in Britain known as Thatcherism) and Old Labour socialism, which was called the "[[Third Way]]". This is indicated by the amendment of "Clause IV" of the party statutes. In its original version of 1918 Clause IV read: <br /> <br /> :To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service.<br /> <br /> The new version of 1994 reads as follows:<br /> <br /> :The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. It believes that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few, where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe, and where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.<br /> <br /> The dedication to public ownership was changed to a commitment to an economy which was capitalist in principle, but included the social redistribution of wealth. By changing its constitution, the party substituted a clearly socialist political stance with social pragmatism. The essence of these changes was a commitment to liberal markets, which were supplemented with communitarian policies, i.e. social groups and private incentives. The privatisation policies introduced by [[Margaret Thatcher]] were not reversed, but New Labour created incentives to set up projects to make the private sector invest. Under Tony Blair, New Labour made huge investments by subsidising jobs for less skilled workers. Additionally, there was a focus on public-private partnerships and incentives for private companies to invest in the public sector in exchange for profitable returns. As a consequence to the party's interventionism, there was an explosion of government activity, as more money was spent on the public sector and the creation of new government bodies, e.g. the so-called Social Exclusion Unit. Blair's approach to Law and Order is best expressed by his catchphrase "tough on crime/zero tolerance", which resulted in stricter anti-social behaviour laws. One example is the Crime and Disorder Act, which introduced the [[Anti-Social Behaviour Order]]s (ASBOs).<br /> <br /> <br /> Although New Labour was regarded as basically continuing Thatcher's policies, there were striking differences between their agendas. New Labour's approach to the nations of the UK was very different: Prime Minister Blair instigated a process of [[devolution]], i.e. giving legislative power to Scotland, Wales, and [[Northern Ireland Assembly|Northern Ireland]]. A national minimum wage was also agreed on under New Labour, and the Social Charter of the Maastricht Treaty was eventually signed by Britain, which had been rejected by Thatcher's administration. In general, New Labour was much more pro-European than it used to be before its renewal. <br /> <br /> Some of Blair's polices were very controversial in the Labour Party, which is why he is sometimes said to have had a presidential way of leading the party. In general, it can be said that New Labour broadly embraced a new form of consensus, i.e. policies that were in accordance with the ones established by the previous government, but there were also striking differences. The shortcomings of the Thatcher administration were intended to be changed and there was a much stronger focus on social policies and attitudes towards society and its communities but, overall, New Labour followed a new liberal way opened up by Thatcher.<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> *Kamm, Jürgen & Bernd Lenz.
