Tony Blair, le New Labour et la Troisième Voie – ou comment conquérir le pouvoir en Grande-Bretagne et en Europe
Abstract
Blairism is not really an ideology, rather a value system borrowing selectively from Labourism, Torysm and radical Liberalism, transcending them in a modernizing gospel. A tactic to conquer and keep power, the Third Way legitimates itself through action in order to remain faithful to a “radicalism of the centre”, as well as imposing itself as the new federative messianism of European construction.
