Over to You, MR Brown: How Labour Can Win Again
ISBN: 9780745642222 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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...

The Consequences of Modernity
ISBN: 9780745609232 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In this work, Giddens offers a new interpretation of the institutional transformations associated with modernity. His main argument is that we do not as yet live in a post-modern world. Rather, the distinctive characteristics of major social institutions in the closing period of the 20th century express the emergence of a period of high modernity, in which prior trends are radicalized rather than undermined.

The Progressive Manifesto: New Ideas for the Centre-Left
ISBN: 9780745632957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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 centre-left must respond. Third-way... 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, ma...

This book provides an interpretation of one of the key aspects of Max Weber's work: the relationship between his political and sociological writings. Weber's sociological studies have often been treated as if they were completely separate from his political attitudes and interests, and in general his political writings have remained less well-known than his sociological work.
The book contains three main sections. The first of these analyses the principal concerns underlying Weber's political assessment of the prospective development of post-Bismarckian Germany. The second... This book provides an interpretation of one of the key aspects of Max Weber's work: the relationship between his political and sociological writings. ...

The Third Way
ISBN: 9780745622675 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.

ISBN: 9780745617626 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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: 9780745624501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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...

In greater or lesser degree, all have moved away from traditional doctrines and policies of the left, recognizing 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 and policy 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.

In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provocative interpretation of institutional transformations associated with modernity. What is modernity? The author suggests, "As a first approximation, let us simply say the following: 'modernity' refers to modes of social life or organization which emerged in Europe from about the seventeenth century onwards and which subsequently became more or less worldwide in their influence." We do not as yet, the author argues, live in a post-modern world. The distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing...
