Opis

The neo-Gramscian perspective, pioneered by Robert Cox, has made an important contribution to the development of critical international relations theory. This book provides a Marxist critique of Cox and the neo-Gramscians that addresses their shortcomings and offers an alternative explanation of world order change.

Recenzje

"As Cox and other neo-Gramscians extended these insights over subsequent decades they produced a body of work that demands serious critical consideration by anyone interested in modern world politics. This is precisely what Adrian Budd delivers in this important new study of their works."
Paul Blackledge is professor of political theory at Leeds Beckett University
