Power rarely works by force alone: it also rules by winning hearts
and minds. States, classes, and social groups all seek political
dominance by exerting political, ideological, or cultural
leadership over others. This idea - hegemony - is a subtle, complex
one, which is too often applied crudely. In this succinct
introduction, political theorist James Martin skilfully examines
these nuances and shines a new light on hegemony. He introduces its
component ideas and critically surveys the most influential
thinking about hegemony, from Gramsci's theory of hegemony as a
revolutionary strategy and Marxist theories of the state, politics,
and culture to the Post-Marxist project of radical democracy. He
then considers the concept's critical role in analysing
international politics and global political economy, and evaluates
the criticism that hegemony is too state-centric to truly capture
the dynamics of contemporary struggles for emancipation. This lucid
and accessible guide to hegemony will be essential reading for all
students of radical politics and social and political theory.
