Clinton's Legacy A New Democrat In Governance [Hardcover]

As Clinton left office there was little consensus even among Democrats as to the significance of his political legacy. He was keen to stress that enduring changes had been made to American society. Critics, however, were less convinced that Clintonism had developed an integrated vision of governance. This book examines whether the Clinton experience does illustrate the value of the New Democrat and Third Way agenda.Introduction: The Problem of Defining Clinton Redefining the Democrats Clintonomics I: Deficit Reduction and Free Trade Clintonomics II: Levelling the Playing Field?
