Routledge Class, States and International Relations - Neo-Gramscian Theory

This comprehensive academic work examines neo-Gramscian international relations theory through a Marxist lens, centring on Robert Cox's pioneering contributions and the wider neo-Gramscian literature. The book provides a critical appraisal of how Gramscian concepts and Cox's analysis of social forces reshape understanding of state formation and world order structures. It contrasts neo-Gramscian approaches with mainstream Realist theory, demonstrating the theoretical innovations that emerge when examining how material interests and social relations underpin international relations. Published by Routledge as part of their Innovations in Political Theory series, this text serves scholars and students seeking rigorous engagement with critical international relations theory and the intellectual foundations of neo-Gramscian analysis.
