In greater or lesser degree, all have moved away from traditional doctrines and policies of the left, recognising that left values have to be pursued by different means today. The term 'third way' has become a widely accepted, if controversial, label understood by many modernizing social democrats to refer to these attempts at ideological andpolicy innovation. The debate that has arisen around these developments is a truly world-wide one, stretching from the US and Europe through to Asia, Australasia and Latin America.

It provides perhaps the most comprehensive and integrated account to date of core developments in left of centre political thinking.r blind? /
