Clintonism

Common card · No. 284853

Clintonism is a political ideology and governing philosophy associated with the presidency of Bill Clinton (1993–2001) and the broader evolution of Democratic Party politics in the United States during the late 20th century. It is commonly characterized by a synthesis of traditionally liberal social policies with market-oriented economic strategies, emphasizing fiscal conservatism, moderate governance, and triangulation. Members of the Democratic Party who align with these policies and practices are often referred to as New Democrats. The ideology is often considered a component of the broader Third Way, a centrist political framework that gained prominence in the 1990s across several Western democracies, with comparable movements including New Labour in the United Kingdom under Tony Blair, the Liberal Party of Canada under Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, and the Social Democratic Party of Germany under Gerhard Schröder.
