Since its original publication fifteen years ago, this hugely influential book has been at the centre of much debate. The arguments and controversies it has aroused are, furthermore, far from abating: the disintegration of the Soviet bloc, the emergence of new social and political identities linked to the transformation of late capitalism, and the crisis of a left-wing project whose essentialist underpinnings have increasingly come under fire have, if anything, made more relevant than ever the theoretical perspective that the book proposes. Moreover the political project of ‘radical and plural democracy’ that it advocates provides a much-needed antidote to the attempts to formulate a Third Way capable of overcoming the classical opposition between Left and Right.

Updated with a new preface, this is a fundamental text for understanding the workings of hegemony and grasping the nature of contemporary social struggles and their significance for democratic theory.

Good Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

I will recommend the new black book from the left. Written by Agustin Laje and Nicolás Márquez.

This book (Hegemony and Socialist Strategy:)is definitely the best pieces of literature from the left that I have read.

Some very interesting, if not difficult to grasp, ideas here. Proof that perspective and context lays heavily upon the world order.

Very good and matches the title

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

Very good and matches the title. Could be more clear though, the table of contents in this one labels the major 4 parts of the book but none of the smaller but important ones such as The Dillemmas of Rosa Lexumburg.

Fascinating Text for Poststructuralists

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I am not a Marxist. That aside, I found this text to be a fascinating introduction to many Marxist writers, concepts, and historical perspectives.

Gramsci is heavily represented, as the concept of hegemony is used to ground the theoretical elements of Laclau and Mouffe's poststructuralist analysis.

Whether you hail from the left or the right, this book is worth a read.

first impression

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have to say the book caught me by surprize with the developing story. It builds quite concrete bases for the new neocapitalism we have everpresent these days. What I may consider as childllish approach (nes) gains some substance in the context described in this book. Interesting reading on the train while commuting to work in a 'corporate fabrik'.

If you like philosophy, public sphere theory, and Marxism, then you should read this text. It is a challenging yet insightful read.

Good briefing on communism

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

Overly verbose and intellectually dishonest, but it does provide good insight into the communist world view.

Advertised wrongly

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on January 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Even though it is advertised as having it, there is no pagecount corresponding to the print version until the end of both prefaces. That doesn't make sense to me, because the prefaces are important, if I want to academically work with this book. So thats why there are only 4 stars. Please do something about it, it would be appreciated.

Jargonomics for Marxists

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

Most of this book is written in -to me- incomprehensible jargon. As I know and admire Chantal Mouffe''s work for its clear exposition in excellent English , I can only presume Laclau is responsible. Moreover , in so far as I was able to understand some parts. it seems to be largely concerned with the history of Marxist theory and the contortions various thinkers put themselves through to accommodate the primacy of the economic base and the class nature of politics.

composition pas cohérente à cette de la vielle version

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on November 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Bonne livraison

Mais, pendant citation, je trouve que toute la composition et édition de cette version n'est pas cohérente à celle de la version 1970. Comme ça, il me faut travailler encore sur mes notes de citations. Puis la qualité des papiers ne sont bonnes aussi.

Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics (Phronesis)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

If you are not a well-versed academic and very good at English, this book can be very challenging. I have no doubt that the contents are sound and that I could make great use of them in the future, but I think I'll be trying for books about the work of Laclau and Mouffe so I know more before getting my teeth into this one. I've read a few pages and it all seems to be brilliant, but since I get lost in the tangles of intellectual language, I really couldn't say... Hard to rate... this is an original source book. I ought to find it brilliant I'm sure...So this evaluation is more about my ability than the book, really!
