Global Restructuring, State, Capital and Labour: Contesting Neo-Gramscian Perspectives

The work delves into the complex interplay between state, capital, and labor through the lens of historical materialism, offering a rigorous critique of the prevailing neo-Gramscian perspectives. The authors, each well-versed in critical theory, engage in a dialogue that seeks to unpack the nuances of global restructuring and its implications for power dynamics within the political economy. Their analysis highlights the historical and ideological foundations that shape contemporary socio-economic realities, drawing connections between theory and practical outcomes in the labor market.

As they navigate the intersections of theory and practice, the authors also challenge conventional wisdom, pushing readers to rethink the assumptions underlying much of the existing scholarship. By illuminating the diverse experiences and struggles that arise from globalization, they invite a deeper understanding of how labor movements and state policies interact in this rapidly evolving landscape. This book promises to be a pivotal contribution for scholars and practitioners interested in the vital issues of capital and labor in a globalized context.
