Description
This book provides an analysis of America's international economic policies using Gramscian models. It is not a book on Gramsci's thought, but one which uses his ideas to help understand contemporary international relations and which builds on the common ground for Marxist and liberal social science that Gramsci provides. It sets out to assess causes and consequences of the drive of the American President in search of a new American supremacy in the world, especially with regard to policies affecting the Third World. The analysis focuses on the international economic structure of the late 1980s and makes extensive use of conceptual tools elaborated by Gramsci, who has enriched political theory by reconsidering orthodox Marxist approaches in the light of the Italian idealist philosophy. In this way it is hoped to provide fresh insights into a contemporary issue.
