{"product_id":"rethinking-hegemony","title":"Rethinking Hegemony","description":"\u003cp\u003eHegemony 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring 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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833542160589,"sku":"9781137300454","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_58701da6-41a0-4639-af42-86d228c7cc9b.jpg?v=1790888531","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/rethinking-hegemony","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
