In the past two decades, Marxism has enjoyed a revitalization as a
research program and a growth in its audience. This renaissance is
connected to the revival of anti-capitalist contestation since the
Seattle protests in 1999 and the impact of the global economic and
financial crisis in 2007-8. It intersects with the emergence of
Post-Marxism since the 1980s represented by thinkers such as Jurgen
Habermas, Chantal Mouffe, Ranajit Guha and Alain Badiou. This
handbook explores the development of Marxism and Post-Marxism,
setting them in dialogue against a truly global backdrop.
Transcending the disciplinary boundaries between philosophy,
economics, politics and history, an international range of expert
contributors guide the reader through the main varieties and
preoccupations of Marxism and Post-Marxism. Through a series of
framing and illustrative essays, readers will explore these
traditions, starting from Marx and Engels themselves, through the
thinkers of the Second and Third Internationals (Rosa Luxemburg,
Lenin and Trotsky, among others), the Tricontinental, and Subaltern
and Post-Colonial Studies, to more contemporary figures such as
Huey Newton, Fredric Jameson, Judith Butler, Immanuel Wallerstein
and Samir Amin. The Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism
will be of interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy,
cultural studies and theory, sociology, political economics and
several areas of political science, including political theory,
Marxism, political ideologies and critical theory.
The nature of the contemporary global political economy and the
significance of the current crisis are a matter of wide-ranging
intellectual and political debate, which has contributed to a
revival of interest in Marx's critique of political economy. This
book interrogates such a critique within the broader framework of
the history of political economy, and offers a new appreciation of
its contemporary relevance. A distinctive feature of this study is
its use of the new historical critical edition of the writings of
Marx and Engels (MEGA(2)), their partially unpublished notebooks in
particular. The sheer volume of this material forces a renewed
encounter with Marx. It demonstrates that the international sphere
and non-European societies had an increasing importance in his
research, which developed the scientific elements elaborated by
Marx's predecessors. This book questions widespread assumptions
that the nation-state was the starting point for the analysis of
development. It explores the international foundations of political
economy, from mercantilism to Adam Smith and David Ricardo and to
Hegel, and investigates how the understanding of the international
political economy informs the interpretations of history to which
it gave rise. The book then traces the developments of Marx's
critique of political economy from the early 1840s to Capital
Volume 1 and shows that his deepening understanding of the laws of
capitalist uneven and combined development allowed him to recognise
the growth of a world working class. Marx's work thus offers the
necessary categories to develop an alternative to methodological
nationalism and Eurocentrism grounded in a critique of political
economy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in
the development of Marx's thought and in the foundations of
International Political Economy.

The global economic crisis has exposed the limits of neoliberalism
and dramatically deepened social polarization. Yet, despite
increasing social resistance and opposition, neoliberalism prevails
globally. Radical alternatives, moreover, are only rarely debated.
And if they are, such alternatives are reduced to new Keynesian and
new developmental agendas, which fail to address existing class
divisions and imperialist relations of domination. This collection
of essays polarizes the debate between radical and reformist
alternatives by exploring head-on the antagonistic structure of
capitalist development. The contributors ground their proposals in
an international, non-Eurocentric and Marxian inspired analysis of
capitalism and its crises. From Latin America to Asia, Africa to
the Middle East and Europe to the US, social and labour movements
have emerged as the protagonists behind creating alternatives. This
book's new generation of scholars has written accessible yet
theoretically informed and empirically rich chapters elaborating
radical worldwide strategies for moving beyond neoliberalism, and
beyond capitalism. The intent is to provoke critical reflection and
positive action towards substantive change.
