The aim of this book is to explain and assess the relevance of the
ideas of Gramsci to a world fundamentally transformed from that in
which his thought was developed. It takes some of Gramsci's
best-known concepts - hegemony, civil society, passive revolution,
the national-popular, trasformismo, the integral state - and uses
them creatively to analyse features of present-day politics,
assessing to what extent his ideas can aid our understanding of the
contemporary political world. The book contains essays focused on:
aspects of global politics (the development of a global civil
society, the validity of the knowledge claims of neo-Gramscian IR
specialists and the politics of the WTO and the Alternative
Globalisation Movement); contemporary feminism; the problem of
adjusting Gramsci's theory of political agency to modern
conditions; Turkish and Israeli politics; and a series of essays on
present-day British politics. The book concludes that while there
remain considerable problems in applying Gramsci's concepts to the
contemporary world, his political thought still retains an
attraction and validity that will continue to inspire political
analysts well into the future. Bringing together a range of essays
representing some of the latest research in the field, Gramsci and
Global Politics: Hegemony and Resistance opens up new perspectives
on Gramsci which will be of vital interest to students and scholars
in International Relations and Political Science, Sociology and
History.
