Abstract:

"Hegemony, Discourse, and Political Strategy" revisits a question that has
long fascinated socialists, progressives, democrats, Greens, and Marxists –
how do left-wing forces win at politics? Thirty-five years ago, Ernesto Laclau
and Chantal Mouffe tackled this puzzle in ground-breaking fashion, by drawing
on a signature blend of linguistics, Marxist theory, and poststructuralism
that came to be known as post-Marxist Discourse Theory (PDT). This book takes
up the legacy of Laclau and Mouffe, and elaborates PDT into a full-fledged
theory of political strategy for the first time. It argues that post-Marxism
provides the foundations for a form of discourse analysis that can explain how
political strategies play out as well as why they fail or succeed. Its
empirical potential to illuminate the dynamics of hegemonic struggles is
demonstrated through a case study focusing on the contestation and
politicization of EU trade policy in the European Parliament.
