Description and Table of Contents

Description

The New Labour government elected in may 1997 claimed that it would modernize the welfare state. This would be achieved by the "third way" which rejects the solutions of both the Old Left and the New Right. This book provides an examination of the social policy of New Labour, and examines differences between late-1990s policy areas and both the Old Left and New Right. It applies the concept of the "third way" to individual policy areas and to broader themes which cut across policy areas.
