According to the book of ‘The Third Way’, Giddens is drastically asserting cosmopolitan nation, policy, argument, and identity that can’t be explained with ‘the third way’, which had been used one before Giddens’ theory by not only overcoming a fixed concept about a Left and a Right, but also the new challenge for human civilization by actively thinking to the globalization problem.
‘The Third way’ became a keynote of social welfare policy in the United Kingdom after the seize power of Blair. A purpose of this, The Third Way, was to overcome ideology of a Left and a Right, but there are no positive responses of it from neoliberalism and the old Left democracy. Neoliberalism of the Right criticize that ‘The Third Way’ is still obsessing on a welfare state which they believe as a root of all evils, and it is even nothing more than a ridiculous dream and a useless thought. A traditional Left of the Western Europe, especially Marxists claim that ‘The Third Way’ is only an election strategy and is just an unrealistic mirage. Although these arguments keep going between the Left and the Right, ‘The Third Way’ is continually discussing.
