Description

JOEL KRIEGER is the Norma Wilentz Hess Professor of Political Science at Wellesley College and Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford Companion to Politics of the World. Britain's New Labour government has garnered considerable international attention, and for good reason. Since Tony Blair's election in May 1997, there is an unmistakable sense in the United Kingdom that something extremely interesting and potentially significant is under way. From the start, New Labour's signature claim to represent a "Third Way"--a model of government not simply between, but beyond neoliberalism and traditional European social democracy--has generated enormous interest and mobilized important new recruits, most notably Germany's Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. Blair's willingness to experiment with ideas and policy and his call to modernize almost everything in the grasp of government have contributed to a sense of political renewal and intellectual ferment in Britain. And his ability to rise to the occasion, from his stewardship of the nation during the period after Princess Diana's death to his aggressive efforts to achieve a potentially historic peace agreement for Northern Ireland have created an aura of decisive, sometimes inspired, leadership.
