New Releases by Tony Blair

¿Cómo debe organizar un dirigente el centro de gobierno y su cargo? ¿Cómo debe priorizar y desarrollar el plan adecuado y contratar al personal adecuado, hacer frente a imprevistos y crisis, y equilibrar las victorias a corto plazo con el cambio estructural a largo plazo? ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de lidiar con una burocracia obstruccionista o inerte, de atraer inversiones, de reformar la sanidad o la educación y de garantizar la seguridad de los ciudadanos? ¿Y cómo deben aprovechar los gobiernos las enormes oportunidades de la revolución tecnológica del siglo XXI? Tony Blair aprendió los preceptos de gobernar dirigiendo un país durante más de diez años. En ese tiempo llegó a comprender que hay ciertas características clave para el éxito de un gobierno que desearía haber conocido cuando empezó. Escribió entonces un manual sobre liderazgo político que habría querido conocer cuando asumió el cargo por primera vez en 1997, compartiendo las ideas que ha adquirido de su experiencia personal y de la observación directa de otros líderes mundiales, tanto mientras era Primer Ministro como desde entonces, a través de su trabajo con líderes políticos y gobiernos de todo el mundo. Este libro, escrito en capítulos breves y concisos, con ejemplos extraídos de diversos tipos de sistemas políticos de todo el mundo, es una clase magistral sobre liderazgo en general, y liderazgo político en particular, de uno de los más grandes estadistas.

"In 1987 Tony Blair''s New Labour won a landslide victory in the British elections. To show it meant business, the new government immediately embarked on a major legislative programme, granting devolution to the outlying "Regions" joined with England in the UK. The cabinet papers concerned with this initiative have just been released, and Peter Raina is publishing them, with brief commentaries, in two volumes. This one concerns Scotland and Wales. The papers show just how much interdepartmental work was involved in this comparatively modest exercise, and how dependent ministers were on the Civil Service and their legal teams. They also raise questions which have recently been much amplified. The drive for devolution had contradictory aims - to offer more self-sufficiency and foster development; but also to take the sting out of nationalist movements, so as to preserve the Union. Readers can judge how democratic and how fruitful the scheme really was"--

More than almost anything else, globalization and the great world religions are shaping our lives, affecting everything from the public policies of political leaders and the economic decisions of industry bosses and employees, to university curricula, all the way to the inner longings of our hearts. Integral to both globalization and religions are compelling, overlapping, and sometimes competing visions of what it means to live well. In this perceptive, deeply personal, and beautifully written book, a leading theologian sheds light on how religions and globalization have historically interacted and argues for what their relationship ought to be. Recounting how these twinned forces have intersected in his own life, he shows how world religions, despite their malfunctions, remain one of our most potent sources of moral motivation and contain within them profoundly evocative accounts of human flourishing. Globalization should be judged by how well it serves us for living out our authentic humanity as envisioned within these traditions. Through renewal and reform, religions might, in turn, shape globalization so that can be about more than bread alone.

It seems that nearly everyone is talking about missional change for congregations. As a result, many church leaders are attempting to drive that kind of change for the ministries they lead. Some succeed. But many others hit a wall of considerable frustration as they find that congregations resist the very change that is so needed. The reasons for this resistance are many, and they are explored in this volume. What is required to move a church from resistance to readiness? Some resistance is deeply rooted in spiritual patterns. But there are other reasons as well, and they center on trust--personal trust in the leaders who offer missional change. For this work, the authors have done extensive primary and secondary research to identify patterns and behaviors that invite missional leadership. More than that, they've lived this out in their own ministries as pastors of traditional congregations. This book thus offers compelling first-person stories and congregational case studies alongside more generalized findings. Leading Missional Change was written to support pastors and other church leaders who experience resistance, to share wisdom and experience that may lead to readiness, and to give hope and encouragement toward a re-energizing of your own congregation.

In this remarkably gripping memoir, one of the most dynamic and controversial leaders of modern times gives us a firsthand account of his years in office and beyond. Here, for the first time, Tony Blair recounts his role in shaping our recent history, from the aftermath of Princess Diana's death to the war on terror. With rare honesty and courage, he recounts the belief in ethical intervention that led to his decision to go to war in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, and, most controversial of all, Iraq. Filled with fascinating revelations about Blair's close friendship with the Clinton family, his admiration for George W. Bush, and his relationship with Barack Obama, A Journey is a must-read political memoir, providing an unprecedented glimpse into Tony Blair's experiences as Prime Minister, through his own eyes. In his expansive new introduction, Tony Blair discusses his vision of a future based on open-mindedness, yet fully couched in the complex realities of our times.

«¿Cómo afrontaremos el problema de los recursos que escasean? ¿Quién dará voz a los pobres, a los desheredados, a los prófugos, a los emigrantes? ¿Cómo podremos hacer crecer la comprensión en lugar de la ignorancia y la tolerancia en lugar del miedo? En este ámbito debe entrar en juego el mundo de la fe y naturalmente la Iglesia católica, la Iglesia universal, modelo ella misma de institución global. Los líderes políticos ---os lo digo con toda franqueza--- no pueden hacerlo ellos solos». Educado en colegios de Edimburgo, abogado sindical tras haber estudiado Derecho en Oxford, Anthony Charles Lynton Blair entró en el Partido Laborista en 1983. Después de unos años siendo portavoz sobre asuntos de Derecho y Economía, Tony Blair se convirtió en el líder más joven del laborismo con cuarenta y un años. Ganó por mayoría las elecciones británicas en 1997, logro que repetiría durante dos mandatos más hasta 2007, año en el que definitivamente abandonó la política. Convertido al catolicismo, funda en 2008 la Tony Blair Faith Foundation (www.tonyblairfaithfoundation.org). El presente libro recoge una reciente intervención en el Meeting de Rímini en la que aborda cuestiones de calado personal, social, religioso y político.

Intellectual juggernaut and staunch atheist Christopher Hitchens goes head-to-head with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, one of the Western world’s most openly devout political leaders, on the highly charged topic of religion. Few world leaders have had a greater hand in shaping current events than Blair; few writers have been more outspoken and polarizing than Hitchens. In this edition of The Munk Debates -- Canada’s premier international debate series -- Hitchens and Blair square off on the contentious questions that continue to dog the topic of religion in our globalized world: How does faith influence our actions? What is the role of people of faith in the public sphere? Is religious doctrine rigid, or should we allow for flexibility in our interpretations? This exclusive debate, which played out to a sold-out audience, is now available in print form, along with candid interviews with Hitchens and Blair. Sharp, provocative, and thoroughly engrossing, Hitchens vs. Blair is a rigorous and electrifying intellectual sparring match on the oldest question: Is religion a force for good in the world?

Storbritanniens tidligere premierminister beretter om sin politiske karriere, fra han blev valgt til leder af Labour i 1994, til han forlod posten som premierminister i 2007

Why do church leaders and the leaders of their institutions of higher learning seem to speak different languages? Why are relationships between church and academy so filled with tension and misunderstanding? This insightful and provocative volume, written by one with leadership experience in both camps, explains those dynamics. Tony Blair parses the cultural and theological trends that have created this gap in recent decades and notes how those same patterns yet offer hope for the future. Blair delineates five models of more collaborative relationships between church and academy, three of which are drawn from the creative positioning of existing institutions that serve as case studies, and two of which describe the academy of the future. For church and university leaders alike, as well as all those who care about the relationship of these two essential institutions in the fulfillment of God's kingdom, Church and Academy in Harmony offers a readable and intelligent analysis.

Mike McNichols has created a marvelous fable about evangelism, spiritual formation, faith community, and ministry leadership in The Bartender. This is a study guide to that book. It was written by one who has led several discussion groups on The Bartender and who discovered that readers found it deeply fascinating. The issues it raises are so relevant to many contemporary conversations about how those who believe intersect and interact with those who may not . . . or those who do but don't know they do yet. Mike McNichol's choice to discuss these issues in the context of a fable made them accessible in ways that a more didactic approach would not have. As a result, this guide has been adapted for the use of a more general audience. Specifically, it's been formatted into twelve sessions for those who would wish to read, discuss it, and practice its principles together over a defined period of time. Of course, it can be adapted for other schedules and formats. Whether you're reading this on your own or as part of a group, The Bartender's Assistant is a helpful guide for the journey.

Tony Blair est une des grandes personnalités politiques de notre époque. En quelques années, il a transformé le parti travailliste, modifié radicalement le paysage politique britannique et mis fin à dix-huit années de règne conservateur en devenant Premier ministre en 1997. Figure majeure des deux dernières décennies, il a su maintenir son parti au pouvoir pendant trois mandats, record historique. Il évoque ici aussi bien la mort de Diana que sa guerre contre le terrorisme et son engagement controversé en Irak, son rôle majeur dans les difficiles négociations de la paix en Irlande, ses relations avec Gordon Brown et Peter Mandelson, les réformes entreprises pour moderniser la Grande-Bretagne, ses rencontres avec les grands chefs d'Etat, de Nelson Mandela à Bill Clinton en passant par George W. Bush, Jacques Chirac et Nicolas Sarkozy... Dans ces mémoires, Tony Blair traite de la nature du pouvoir politique et de son usage. Franc, sans concession, souvent ironique, il retrace les hauts et les bas de sa carrière, et donne à voir non seulement le politicien et homme d'Etat, mais l'homme tout court. Il détaille les défis qu'affrontent les dirigeants d'aujourd'hui, et analyse l'émergence d'économies et de rapports de forces totalement nouveaux dans un monde complexe et globalisé. Peu de ministres ont contribué à modeler l'histoire d'une nation aussi profondément que Tony Blair. Ses succès et son héritage feront débat encore longtemps.

Etter 18 år med konservativt styre, førte Tony Blair Labour til makten i 1997. Etter denne store seieren ble han en av de mest dynamiske lederne i moderne tid. Få britiske statsministere har så tydelig staket ut kursen i britisk politikk – på godt og vondt. Hans innsats vil bli debattert i årevis. I sine memoarer forteller han om utfordringene verdens ledere står overfor. Vi får et innblikk i hans personlige reise og et bilde av mennesket, politikeren og statsmannen. Åpent forteller han om suksess, kontroverser og skuffelser.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is interviewed by John Humphrys on BBC Radio 4 (Sept. 29, 2004).
