商品簡介
When daylight returned to British politics after the period of Thatcher and Major, says Bogg (law, Oxford U.), the New Labor government did not restore the traditional preference for pluralist non-intervention regarding recognition in collective industrial relations, but instituted what it called a Third Way. He looks closely at the nature of this new model and the ones it sought to replace, through the lens of political philosophy. He articulates and defends a civic republican philosophy in terms of freedom as non-domination, the intrinsic value of democratic participation through deliberative democracy, and community. This is in contrast to the rights-based individualism and state neutrality that underlies the liberalism that New Labor's experiment espoused. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
