How can we understand power in a world of ever-growing complexity?
This book proposes that we can do so by rethinking the theory and
practice of political hegemony through the resources of complexity
theory. Taking Gramsci's understanding of hegemony as its starting
point, the book argues that the intricacies of contemporary power
can be mapped by applying concepts drawn from complexity theory,
such as emergence, self-organisation, metastability, and generative
entrenchment. It develops an original account of social complexity,
drawing upon critical realist sociology, analytic philosophy of
science, Marxist and continental philosophies, and neoliberal and
anarchist thought. It then draws out the elements of Gramscian
hegemony that already align with complexity concepts, such as the
balance of forces, common sense, and the historic bloc. On this
basis, the book sets out the different dimensions of complex
hegemonic power before using this theory to interpret the nature of
the power of neoliberalism since 2008.
