Social

There are many interesting political actors in the world today, some who challenge conventional thinking and others who reiterate the status quo. Though former Prime Minister Tony Blair is not always thought of as the most popular of public figures, in large part due to his involvement of the UK in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq he is a formidable political activist, for change. Tony Blair is clearly one of the most influential political leaders of the modern era. He demonstrates significant and sound reasoning in areas where many politicians and others seek to either look the other way or follow the popular reasoning of others. Blair became a political activist in the Labour party at a relatively young age and much that he went through within his early life molded his later opinions and strategies for change, especially with regard to environmental change and sustainable living and governance. Research surrounding Blair's position as a political activist and an environmental activist should stem from his history and experiences before and in government. The interest of this research is to determine how and why change leaders come about.

Research Topic

Blair had a rather conventional upbringing and was not a likely candidate for activism or at the least a Labour Party leader, having been raised in relative privilege by an academic father attending all the right schools, yet he took what he learned and went forward with a clear understanding of our need as people and especially as a nation to seek sustainable outcomes and systems, despite the many sacrifices that might be a result of such sweeping change. Blair clearly grew up and came of age in an era that began the demand for social and environmental change. He lived through the years of the 1960s and 70s with the protests associated with change and was likely moved by such a call to action as his position as a Labour party leader led him to fully entrench the ideals of socialism, rather than capitalism or conservatism. This work will seek through documentary sources the reasoning and influences as stated mostly by Blair himself as to why he became a political and environmental activist.
