Description

Realist theories of hegemonic leadership and decline have provoked a debate that has engaged scholars from around the globe. The contributors to this book explore theoretical, empirical and practical questions arising out of this debate, addressing the extent, causes, meaning and implications of the alleged US decline. Well represented is the effort, from a Gramscian perspective, to redress realism's singular focus on material capabilities and consequent inattention to the conceptual and normative dimensions of hegemony. The book concludes with a variety of views on the future of hegemonic leadership, including the prospects for its renewal, pluralization, transformation or transcendence.
