Still a Third Way for Europe
Anthony Giddens is director of the London School of Economics
and author of The Third Way (Blackwell, 1998) and the The Third Way and
Its Critics (Blackwell, 1999). He is also widely known as one of British
Prime Minister Tony Blair's top intellectual "gurus."
London - The string of election defeats for Gerhard
Schroeder's Social Democratic Party in Germany last fall has been interpreted
by some as a backlash against the idea of a "third way" or "new
middle" for Europe as outlined by Chancellor Schroeder and British
Prime Minister Tony Blair in their joint statement during the summer.
To my mind, such a view is mistaken.
