Where Now for New Labour?
ISBN: 9780745629919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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...

Anthony Giddens has been in the forefront of developments in social theory for the past decade. In The Constitution of Society he outlines the distinctive position he has evolved during that period and offers a full statement of a major new perspective in social thought, a synthesis and elaboration of ideas touched on in previous works but described here for the first time in an integrated and comprehensive form. A particular feature is Giddens's concern to connect abstract problems of theory to an interpretation of the nature of empirical method in the social sciences. In presenting...

ISBN: 9780745611174 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Published by Polity for the first time, this is a new and revised edition of a book which has established itself as a basic text in social theory. The first section of the work provides a concise critical analysis of some leading schools of thought in social philosophy, giving particular attention to phenomenology, ethnomethodology and Wittgensteinian thought. Giddens concentrates primarily upon the implications of these various perspectives for an account of human action and its intelligibility. An action approach on its own, however, will not do; in human social life, action and structure...

Modernity and Self-Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age
ISBN: 9780804719445 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Modernity differs from all preceding forms of social order because of its dynamism, its deep undercutting of traditional habits and customs, and its global impact. It also radicallly alters the general nature of daily life and the most personal aspects of human activity. In fact, one of the most distinctive features of modernity is the increasing interconnection between globalizing influences and personal dispositions. The author analyzes the nature of this interconnection and provides a conceptual vocabulary for it, in the process providing a major rethinking of the nature of modernity and a...

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...

ISBN: 9780745670966 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. 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.

In Defence of Sociology: Essays, Interpretations and Rejoinders
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...
