<DIV>In 2010, the Labor Party of Great Britain suffered its worst General Election defeat since the 1930s (with one exception), bringing to an end thirteen years of New Labor government. Since then, the debate over both the legacy of New Labor and the future direction of the party has been widespread, yet so far there has been little input from a social democratic viewpoint. The chapters in this book cover a wide range of issues and provide new perspectives in the areas of economic, social and foreign policy with a central focus on the defense of the state. Containing high-profile contributions from journalists, academics, policy-makers and think tanks, The Socialist Way provides new directions for electoral success and seeks to show that there need not be a trade-off between power and principle.</p></div>
