Hegemony has long been a key concept within the study of
International Relations, as well as across the social sciences more
generally, and a term used by analysts to make sense of
contemporary events. Drawing on a rich historical framework, this
book traces the different definitions and interpretations of
hegemony in world politics and shows that the term continues to be
a contested one. It examines and develops traditional ideas about
hegemony - from the idea of the strong leading state to the
dominance of particular ideologies - through a wide range of
approaches including hegemonic stability theory and the work of
Antonio Gramsci. Exploring issues such as the role of the state,
the changing influence of regionalism and the emergence of
counter-hegemonic movements, this book argues that a more nuanced
understanding of hegemony is necessary in order to understand the
construction of the contemporary world order. Considering a wide
range of case studies throughout - from the reputation of the
United States as an international leader, to the European Union's
regional hegemony and the economic prowess of the so-called BRICS
group - this text provides the ideal guide to a multi-faceted term
and significant force of both history and the modern age.
