Our Third Way definition includes “1990s renewal of the center-left under Blair, Clinton and Giddens that accepts globalized markets and fiscal discipline, replaces welfare with work activation, is tough on crime and backs liberal interventions”.

Our Third Way model centers on globalized market with a state that invests in education, trades welfare for work, and is tough on crime and its causes.

Our Third Way model centers on globalized market with a state that invests in education, trades welfare for work, and is tough on crime and its causes.
