Third Way is an economically centre to centre-right, civically moderate and culturally centre-left to left-wing ideology inhabiting the centre square. It is the child of Neoliberalism and Social Democracy, borrowing elements from both. As with most centrist balls, it seeks to find a compromise between different political positions.

History

The modern understanding of Third Way politics was popularized in the 1990s by Anthony Giddens, who wrote a series of books detailing the qualities of the Third Way. He called for a re-evaluation of policies from both progressive and conservative parties. The ideology became popular in many western countries, including the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and some of Mainland Europe. The most notable advocates for Third Way are former American president Bill Clinton and former UK prime minister Tony Blair, who both supported its ideas while in office during the 1990s and early 2000s

Beliefs

Third Way believes in a theory of "social-ism" which tries to pursue the goals of equality and social justice in a framework of a Neoliberal society. By fusing traditional social democratic goals with an acceptance of globalism and free markets, Third Way creates a philosophy which is similar to Social Liberalism or Radical Centrism, but built on a more modern theoretical basis. In Beyond Left and Right, Giddens gives a 6 point ideological framework of the Third Way

  • Repair damaged solidarities.
  • Recognise the centrality of life politics.
  • Accept that active trust implies generative politics.
  • Embrace dialogic democracy.
  • Rethink the welfare state.
  • Confront violence.

Economics

It supports a "social capitalist" economy with free-markets and less economic intervention. It supports welfare but advocates reform to encourage people to work, dubbed "workfare". It has pursued other neoliberal policies such as deregulation and privatisation

Foreign Policy

Proponents of the Third Way have been known to take a generally interventionist foreign policy and have made several alliances with Neoconservatism. Most infamous example being when Tony Blair allied with George W. Bush to invade Iraq in 2003.

  • Conservatism - Too culturally right sometimes but good economic views.
  • Liberalism - Grandpa who is too anti-war and too culturally and economically left sometimes but good direction.
  • Classical Liberalism - My great-grandpa! Even more anti-war, but at least economically based.
  • Libertarianism - Too antiwar but I love your economic policies for the most part.
  • Police Statism - We need to maintain tough on crime, to archive true social justice, but NOT LIKE THIS! Hey buddy, want some more military gear?
  • Social Democracy - What do you mean deregulation and cutting welfare "goes against what Social Democracy stands for"?
  • Gaddafism - While he may be a totalitarian dictator, I like his idea of the "Third International Theory" and we had a brief alliance in the 2000s. But I still had to take him out when the time came.
  • Welfarism - Ok, but desperately needs reform in order to get people working again.
