Third Way

Third Way is an economically center to center-right, and culturally progressive ideology inhabiting the center square. It is the child of Neoliberalism and  Social Democracy, borrowing elements from both. As with most centrist balls, it seeks to find a compromise between different political positions.

History
The modern understanding of Third Way politics was popularized in the 1990s by Anthony Giddens, who wrote a series of books detailing the qualities of the Third Way. He called for a re-evaluation of policies from both progressive and  conservative  parties. The ideology became popular in many western countries, including the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and some of Europe. The most notable advocate for Third Way is Bill Clinton, who supported its ideas as the president of the United States in the 1990s.

Beliefs
Third Way believes in a theory of "social-ism" which tries to pursue the goals of equality and social justice in a neoliberal society. Third Way believes in strong liberal values backed by the state along with a welfare state to provide for the needs of the people, while otherwise abiding by a deregulated market economy. It is very similar to social liberalism in practice, though more influenced by socialist tradition as opposed to most forms of liberalism.
