| 概要 | The concept of a "third way" in politics-an alternative to conventional conservatism & liberalism-is not a new one, but it has been revitalized by a new generation of European leaders, as Gerhard Schr...eder's defeat of Helmut Kohl in last fall's German elections attests. The third way is also a subject of great interest to both UK Prime Minister Tony Blair & President Bill Clinton. Yet what is the third way? Anthony Giddens, world-renowned social theorist, Director of the London School of Economics, & Blair's "favorite intellectual," explains in his visionary new book The Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy. Giddens, who has become famous as one of Blair's most trusted advisors, argues that Western industrial nations must develop a new political ideology if they are to meet the many challenges they face at the end of the twentieth century. Conservatism, Giddens writes, is plagued by its self-contradictory nature: its emphasis on preserving traditional values is inadequate to address the ever-changing dynamics of free market capitalism. Yet liberal efforts to achieve social equality through the welfare state have also failed. What must evolve, then, is a third way: a new vision of liberalism that transcends traditional political categories by combining the economic wisdom associated with the right with the social compassion associated with the left. The Third Way promises to redefine our tired notions of liberalism & conservatism, offering a new path to the achievement of democratic ideals. Giddens first traces the history of liberalism & conservatism in industrialized nations in the late twentieth century. He then sets out to propose innovative solutions to the pressing social problems troubling the US & Europe: crime, the disintegration of the family unit, education, aging, inadequate health care, & threats to the environment. Ultimately, Giddens argues, the answer lies in an expansion of democracy, achieved by a renewal of the relationship between government & the citizens it serves.
