| Sumario: | Neo-Gramscians have made invaluable contributions to expanding traditional international relations/international political economy theory. Nevertheless, as the following paper indicates, the ontological, epistemological and methodological positions they adopt results in a rather one-sided interpretation of Antonio Gramsci and a partial, at times erroneous, account of the nature of the current global system. In highlighting these oversights, the “neo” neo-Gramscian approach presented here – rooted in a critical realist philosophy of science, specifically ‘emergentist materialism’, and involving a more complete reading of Gramsci – seeks to lay the basis for the elaboration of a more convincing theoretical and conceptual framework to analyse the changing dynamics of contemporary world order. Only at that point could Robert Cox’s critical theory dream of engendering social emancipation be fully realised. |
