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.
