This doesn't explain what Neo-Gramscianism actually is. 138.38.32.84 10:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Ha. I clicked on this talk page expecting to say just that. --Liface 05:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
The article is written in International Politics speak. Neo-Gramscianism is, in a phrase, what you might know by the term "culture war." (The battle of ideas: or politics, as it's known to the rest of us.)* The "neo-" prefix means this "culture war" is being applied to International Politics. Gramsci - and the body of work known as Gramscianism without the "neo" - discussed domestic politics.* Neo-Gramscians discuss the culture war of International Politics (which at the moment, as per Marxists, shows bias toward discussion on economic ideas rather than military conflict). In order to bring about revolutionary change Gramsci said the culture war had to be won first - IR scholars like Cox and Gill believe there's a war to be won at global level between states. Any better?
*"Neo-"Gramscians are therefore "re-"re-inventing the proverbial object used to make transport easier. To say that what happens in the world is determined by which ideas on how to run it win is truly groundbreaking stuff! 172.213.180.69 15:57, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Added some new stuff, my spelling and grammer is terrible and I will modify that shortly as well as add my sources. Regards. Exwizard 01:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

What do Adorno, Derrida, and Foucault have to do with neogramscianism? Exwizard 18:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Adorno & Horkheimer obviously for their conception of "Critical Theory," which Cox doesn't really make reference to, but his disciples are aware of it; Foucault figures in Gill's newer stuff on "disciplinary liberalism"; Derrida really has nothing to do with it---I kicked him out. 146.96.81.117 21:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cohen references

Is this Theodore H. Cohen, Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice, (Longman, 2000)? Itsmejudith 21:49, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Close, its the 2005 edition. I put in proper refrences, sorry I left that in such a mess! It slipped my mind. I wrote a paper on neoGramscianism and have a ton of good academic articles on the subject. I just need to remember to update this when I get back from class! Exwizard 18:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
