When Tony Blair came to office in 1997 he relied for intellectual
muscle on sociologists such as Tony Giddens - the LSE don who
strategised the "third way". Nearly a decade later, as his "legacy"
looms, it is the historians who are summing up the Blair years,
bringing in their verdicts. Among them is David Runciman, who
formulates his critique of Blair, post-9/11, as "the politics of good
intentions". What, I ask him, does the phrase mean?
