Definition
- The term third way movement is an important feature of global public life that refers to a political, economic, cultural, or, in some cases, religious movement that is considered not to be associated, aligned, or compatible with the factions that dominate the sociopolitical context of its time. In the modern era, such factions usually consist of “conservatives” on the one hand and “socialists” on the other (with the exception of the United States, where the contrast to “conservative” is “liberal”).
