Crises and Hegemonic Transitions
From Gramsciâs Quaderni to the Contemporary World Economy
Series: - Historical Materialism Book Series, Volume: 179
Author:
Crises and Hegemonic Transitions reworks the concept of hegemony at the international level and analyses its relation to world market crises. Returning to the critical edition of Gramsciâs Quaderni and maintaining that the authorâs work is permeated by Marxâs Capital and the law of value, Fusaro argues that imperialist states strive to constructing hegemonic relations in order to secure capital accumulation using domination and leadership, coercion and consensus, and that economic crises have only the potential to provoke crises of hegemony. Tracing the vicissitudes of US hegemony from the interwar period to the present and assessing the Great Depressionâs and the Great Recessionâs impact, Fusaro provides a novel way to interpret past and present developments within the world economy.
Lorenzo Fusaro, Ph.D. in International Political Economy (Kingâs College London, 2013), is Associate Professor of Political Economy at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Mexico. He is the author of diverse works, including Revisiting Gramsciâs Laboratory (Brill, forthcoming, with Antonini et al.) and âWhy China is Different: Hegemony, Revolutions and the Rise of Contender Statesâ (in Research in Political Economy 32, August 2017).
