New Labour is back in power - where now? What should the party's
agenda be? How should the centre-left react to a changed external
world marked by economic downturn, protests against globalization
and an unstable international order?
Anthony Giddens argues that to answer these questions, and
assess the progress Labour has made, we must take a comparative
perspective. Breaking with the insularity that has marked much
political debate in the UK, Giddens draws extensively on the
experience of social democrats in other countries. All centre-left
parties are reacting to common issues and problems that have forced
a rethinking of leftist traditions.
Giddens argues that Labour can and should develop a more
compelling ideological framework than exists so far, and a clearer
view of what kind of society Britain should become. This can only
be achieved, however, by building upon the New Labour project, not
by returning to policies of the past that quite rightly have been
discarded.
