 Third Way, Phase Two
It is a third way for Britain because it represents a third phase of post-war history--following the settlements of 1945 and 1979.
Secondly the third way represents a historic realignment of economic and social policy, at a time when the old boundaries between economy, state and society are breaking down.
In the 1990s the arguments for the third way in Britain were pitted against the still strong forces of the new right and the old left.

 Third way - Knowmore
The Third Way is a centrist political ideology that, at least from a traditional social democratic perspective, usually stands for deregulation, decentralisation and lower taxes.
Third way is sometimes described as an idea of former social-democrats which replaces socialism with capitalism with a minimum of socialism, and a strategy to bring the social-democratic parties back to power where they have lost elections.
Critics argue that third way politicians are in favour of ideas and policies that ultimately serve the interests of corporate power and the wealthy at the expense of the working class and the poor.

Third Way would, however, also look to Britain forming a new non-aligned international confederation of democratic countries to safeguard against future excesses by the EU and the USA, or by globalist corporate-backed interests, and for collaboration as equals in joint projects and research, including defence, environmentally sound technologies and a well funded long-term space program.

 The "Third Way"
But there is a clear and duplicable Third Way in government and economics and it was successfully practiced for 100-150 years in all the developed nations: the avoidance of consumer-base-killing labor surplus by following up on new technology with workweek reduction in addition to or instead of downsizing.
Third Way - few controls, possibly just one = a single all-sufficient control = the Holy Grail of economic design (see below), because it must be in the right economic dimension, the right position (the center) and be designed for minimum 'stifle' - this is the real but still legendary 'Third Way'.
The first way is No Controls, during which CEOs on the Right would have us overlook their many exclusive and self-aggrandizing private-sector controls, symbolized by ever more numerous, costly and tasteless "Private Beach" signs and gated communities, counterbalanced by even more numerous, though per-capita less costly, jails and prisons.

 A Third Way for Sierra Leone.
The Third Way is a systematic approach, balancing the demands of participative and distributive justice by lifting institutional barriers which have historically separated owners from non-own-ers.
The emphasis of the Third Way is not on redistribution of income, but on providing people with social means and a legal system which will encourage them to create their own new wealth and share in profits broadly and equitably.
One way to unshackle workers from the slavery of the worker-for-hire system and from dependency on the redistributive Welfare State is to redirect society's uses of credit from non-productive and consumer purchases to faster rates of wealth production and more universal participation in the ownership and profits from enterprises which produce that new wealth.

 The Third Way.
Media pundits are now talking about a "Third Way," but none of them seems to know quite what it is. People on the left who are positive toward the idea describe it as socialism with a capitalist whitewash; people on the right claim it is capitalism with a socialist veneer.
Logically, a "third way" would be a free market system which economically empowers all individuals and families through direct and effective ownership of the means of production—the best check against the potential for corruption and abuse.
The Third Way is a systematic approach, balancing the demands of participative and distributive justice by lifting institutional barriers which have historically separated owners from non-owners.

 BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Blair's 'third way' for Europe
It was a classic New Labour, even third way speech that appeared to offer some comfort to both enthusiastic and sceptical Europeans with talk of a flexible, liberal economy combined with a strong social framework.
His suggestion he was "a passionate pro-European" brought heckles from the floor and he was left in no doubt, if he still had any, about the anger and dismay at the way the EU has been brought to the present crisis.
The well-rehearsed positions on the UK rebate and the Common Agricultural Policy were voiced, with the prime minister facing some bitter allegations of having done more damage in the three days of the recent Brussels summit than he could undo in six months as EU president.

For New Labour, the Third Way is it.

 Matthew Pike: The third way | Voluntary sector | SocietyGuardian.co.uk
We are, for example, seeing the rise of a new "public economy" that is beginning to offer service delivery contracts to the third sector that will ultimately be worth many billions of pounds.
The world of private capital is also standing in the wings, with a growing appetite for combining financial returns and social impact.
Currently, too many third sector organisations are in the grip of short-term funding that is so geared to delivering service outcomes that there is little scope to build either the capacity or capital base required for efficiency or larger-scale impact.

As I understand it, the Third Way seeks to lubricate this transition by creating substantive support mechanisms and change programs for people displaced by economic development as, ironically, was attempted in the case of dairy deregulation.
Whereas the third wayists are concerned about the decline of trust and the atomisation of society, their solution seems to be for a weakened and untrusted state to call into being dense webs of community communication, cooperation and trust.
Mercifully the Third Way may already be receding into history with a residual life for a time in the colonies.

Politicians claim to represent the Third Way, but seem to suffer a "wilful amnesia" of traditions dating from 1956 onwards such as the feminist movement, the 1968 movement, and in the case of the UK, of the Greater London Council, in which people were genuinely trying to create an alternative to the command economy.
Reacting to the Third Way debate, there is quite a difference between the leading Dutch politicians who shy away from taking too firm a view on the Third Way, and the intellectuals in the social democratic party who support the Third Way.
The Third Way doesn’t bring up the question of quality versus quantity, an example of which is that they don’t mention food quality rather than cheaper and cheaper food.

 Plutonium disposal: The third way | thebulletin.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Recently, a proposal for a "third way" was put forward by analysts at the Öko Institute in Germany.
One way to increase the speed at which MOX could be burned would be for countries with excess plutonium but little light-water-reactor capacity to ship the fuel to other countries.
In 1999, the Öko Institute, an independent German environmental think tank, came up with a third way to dispose of plutonium--fabricating it into rods of "storage MOX." Like MOX fuel, storage MOX would be fashioned into small cylindrical ceramic pellets (0.4 inches in diameter) that would be sealed in long zirconium-alloy or stainless-steel tubes.

 Watch out for the 'Third Way'
The Third Way concept is shared by not only top Republicans and Democrats, but such new-left luminaries as the UK's Tony Blair and Germany's new Chancellor-elect, Gerhard Schroeder.
After you strip away all the rhetoric about a melding of socialist/communist state economies and the right-wing "capitalist" economies in the new millennium, we find a powerful central core -- that nationalism is the cause of war, and war is the major problem of humankind.
At its core, the Third Way is just trying to find some new way to get nations under one big tent -- a tent that can only lead to a revolutionary new era in geopolitics -- iron-clad world dictatorship.
