Clinton's legacy?

the long version

"Bill Clinton came to office promising that he was a 'different type of Democrat'. He pledged that his policies would articulate a bold new 'Third Way' in the form of a radical centrist program. In order to examine the actual impact of the Clinton era, the book places his Presidency in the context of the history of Democratic failures at presidential level and asks how his administration responded to the developing challenges in the areas of political economy, social welfare and cultural politics. The book examines whether there was a consistently identifiable Clintonism which offers a new direction for a Democratic Party struggling to redefine itself at a time when the socio-economic values of the New Deal appeared to have been overtaken by the pressures of budgetary constraint and globalization as well as the backlash against Big Government."--Jacket.
