{"product_id":"9781509521616","title":"Hegemony","description":"\u003cp\u003ePower rarely works by force alone: it also rules by winning hearts and minds. 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\u003e In this succinct introduction, political theorist James Martin skilfully examines these nuances and shines a new light on hegemony. 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\u003e This lucid and accessible guide to hegemony will be essential reading for all students of radical politics and social and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Pr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269225820395,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":36.53,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781509521616-1.jpg?v=1781685706","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781509521616","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
