Does the party still have a clear set of values and beliefs which guide it in government? Can it still be described as a social democratic party? Recently Tony Blair has called his political approach a Third Way between new Right and old Labour. The essays in this book by leading authorities on social democracy and the politics of new Labour ask whether new Labour is a complete break with the Labour past and with European social democracy, or whether it should be seen as a powerful restatement of social democratic ideas in a new context.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eTony Wright\u003c\/b\u003e is MP for Cannock Chase and joint editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Political Quarterly.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Gamble\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Political Economy Research Centre joint editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Political Quarterly.\u003c\/i\u003e Previous books include \u003ci\u003eHayek: The Iron Cage of Liberty and The Free Economy\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eStrong State.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 December 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780631217657\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e196\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310829727884,"sku":"9780631217657","price":43.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780631217657_9d58c081-1798-4ecb-b2d6-d1696d7c4fdb.jpg?v=1780202205","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780631217657","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
