A comprehensive reassessment of the relevance of Gramsci's theory and practice at the beginning of the 21st-century. This volume brings together leading authorities engaged in common debates to produce, a major collection that clarifies, addresses, and lays bare the manifest connections and contentions within political and international theory.

This includes reflections on his relevancy to issues of globalising capitalism, transformations in the state, revolutionary praxis, orientalism and empire, as well as European regionalism. This book was previously published as a special issue of the leading "Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy (CRISPP)".
