Opis

This book focuses on the historical, political-economic, and geopolitical context in which major Southern countries implement a post-hegemonic agenda. Providing a global and comprehensive perspective through a series of focused case studies, it develops a new approach to the multipolarization of world politics based on "global hegemony".

Recenzje

"In the context of the crisis of the US-led world order and the 'Rise of the South,' this book offers excellent insights into the governance innovations emerging from the South. Surveying examples from all of the world's regions, Gurcan offers a rich and engaging analysis of the history and trajectory of the governance project emerging from the South and of their 'post-hegemonic' potentials." - Dr Tom Chodor, Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, Monash University, Australia and author of Neoliberal Hegemony and the Pink Tide in Latin America: Breaking Up With TINA?

"Drawing on an impressive array of cases, Gürcan's book provides a provocative and timely analysis of "post-hegemonic" governance projects - alternatives and potential challengers to US-led global governance - emerging from the Global South amid the waning of American power and the crisis of Northern capitalism." - Dr. Kristen Hopewell, Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy, University of Edinburgh, Author of Breaking the WTO: How Emerging Powers Disrupted the Neoliberal Project.
