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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this succinct introduction, political theorist James Martin skilfully examines these nuances and shines a new light on \u003cem\u003eHegemony\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lucid and accessible guide to hegemony will be essential reading for all students of radical politics and social and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455583371500,"sku":"9781509521616","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/61ovH7YXQaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774785093","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/hegemony-by-james-martin-9781509521616","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
