The Progressive Manifesto: New Ideas for the Centre-Left
ISBN: 9780745632940 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book seeks to develop a new agenda for the centre-left. During the 1990's, left of centre governments or coalitions came into power in the US, many of the European Union countries, and in societies elsewhere too. The modernisation of social democracy was crucial to these successes - all centre-left parties that came to power revised and updated their traditional doctrines. Recent years have seen the widespread return of the right to power, coupled to the prominence of far right parties in many countries.

The Third Way and Its Critics
ISBN: 9780745624495 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has become a focus of discussion across the world. Political leaders, in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America claim to be following its principles. Yet the notion has also attracted much criticism. Some say it is an empty concept without any real content. Critics from the more traditional left argue that it is a betrayal of left-wing ideals.
Anthony Giddens's The Third Way (Polity Press, 1998) is regarded by many as the key text of third way politics. Translated into twenty-five languages, it has shaped the development of...

Central Problems in Social Theory: Action, Structure, and Contradiction in Social Analysis
ISBN: 9780520039759 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this new and brilliantly organized book of essays, Anthony Giddens discusses three main theoretical traditions in social science that cut across the division between Marxist and non-Marxist sociology: interpretive sociology, functionalism, and structuralism. Beginning with a critical examination of the importance of structuralism for contemporary sociology, the author develops a comprehensive account of what he calls "the theory of structuration." One of the main themes is that social theory must recognize, as it has not done hitherto, that all social actors are knowledgeable about the...

Beyond Left and Right : The Future of Radical Politics
ISBN: 9780745614397 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How should one understand the nature and possibilities of political radicalism? The political radical is normally thought of as someone who stands on the Left, opposing backward-looking conservatism. In the 1990s, however, the Left has turned defensive, while the Right has become radical, advocating the free play of market forces no matter what obstacles of tradition or custom stand in their way. What explains such a curious twist of perspective?

Where Now for New Labour?
ISBN: 9780745629919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

In Defence of Sociology: Essays, Interpretations and Rejoinders
ISBN: 9780745617626 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is there a future for sociology? To many, sociology seems to have lost its way. Born of the ideas of Auguste Comte in the nineteenth century, sociology established itself as 'the science of modernity', linked to a progressive view of history. Yet today the idea of progress has more or less collapsed; with its demise, some say, sociological thought has moved to the margins of contemporary intellectual culture.
In this book the author challenges such an interpretation, showing that sociology continues to hold a central position within the social sciences. Looking both to the past...

ISBN: 9780745642222 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Anthony Giddens' The Third Way had a far-reaching impact upon the evolution of New Labour in the UK, and upon left of centre policies in many other countries too. Today, nearly a decade later, Labour stands again at a decisive point in its history. A change of leadership can help reinvigorate the party, but winning a fourth term of government will be impossible without reinvigorating Labour's ideological position and policy outlook.
What form should these innovations take? The author argues that the core emphases that have sustained Labour's hold over power for three successive... Anthony Giddens' The Third Way had a far-reaching impact upon the evolution of New Labour in the UK, and upon left of centre policies in many o...
