Glassman, Jim. “Transnational Hegemony and Us Labor Foreign Policy: Towards a Gramscian International Labor Geography.” Environment and Planning D: Society & Space, vol. 22, no. 4 (2004): 573-93.

Abstract: This paper explores the use of Gramsci's notion of hegemony in analyzing the relationships between US labor unions, the US foreign policy establishment, and workers in the global South. The hegemonic position of US capitalists, in relation to both US workers and states in the global South, heavily conditioned the development of American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations foreign policy during the cold war, with path-dependent effects that have carried over into the post-cold-war era of 'globalization'. Although recent changes in the relationships between US capitalists and US labor unions have undermined the US 'labor accord' that reigned during the cold war, the new, ascendant transnational neoliberal hegemony has not as yet completely transformed the relationships of labor unions in the United States to those elsewhere in the world, which poses ongoing challenges for international labor solidarity, even in a context of new possibilities.

Hill, Deb J. Rethinking Hegemony as an Educative-Formative Problem: Gramsci, Post-Marxism and Radical Democracy Revisited. Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Waikato. Hamilton, New Zealand, 2004.

Abstract: This thesis has been written in opposition to this displacement of hegemony from the historical materialist foundations that underpin Gramsci's own distinctive usage of the concept. My opposition centres particularly on the post-Marxist renunciation of the philosophical assumptions upon which socialism is founded, and upon the inevitable loss of the distinctive nuances of hegemony as a concept centring on the problem of the pathological reach of a capitalist epistemology and ontology upon human identity. As I argue within this study, it is precisely the impress of capitalism's economic and extra-economic aspect upon humanity's own cognitive and moral capacity upon its relational and valuational capability which Gramsci's writings attempted to articulate. In this respect, Gramsci differentiated himself in Marxist circles by the depth of his insights into Marx's historical materialist method and the practical reasoning ('praxis') that this methodology simultaneously engendered. Explaining this method, and the problem of education that this perspective further implies, is therefore the aim of this thesis. As I argue here, his entire written legacy reflects his historical materialist allegiance: the problem of 'education' as no less than the educative-formative problem of practical reasoning.

Martin, James. “The Political Logic of Discourse: A Neo-Gramscian View.” History of European Ideas, vol. 28, no. 1-2 (2002): 21-31.

Abstract: This article contrasts Mark Bevir's approach to the history of ideas with a neo-Gramscian theory of discourse. Bevir puts the case for an `anti-foundationalist' approach to understanding ideas, yet he defends a weak rationalism centred on individual intentions as the original source of all meanings. Discourse theorists--specifically Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe--also adopt an anti-foundationalist perspective but pursue its implications beyond any rationalism. The advantages of discourse theory are argued to lie in its emphasis on power and conflict in the consitution and transformation of social meanings and identity. Laclau and Mouffe's work, it is claimed, alerts us to a political logic of discourse that Bevir's more rationalist approach to `ideas' sidesteps.

Sena Jr., Carlos Zacarias F. de. “Gramsci: Mais Um Antitrotskista?” Outubro. Revista do Instituto de Estudos Socialistas, no. 10 (2004): 49-68. [São Paulo. Port.]

Abstract: The objective of this article is to discuss, through historical perspective, Gramsci's position on three debates in the socialist movement: the polemics around the theory of Permanent Revolution, the debates that opposed Stalin/Bukarin and Trotsky/Zinoviev with the continuation of the NEP in the 20´s, and the International Communist political problem called “Third Period,” the name that was adopted in the VI Congress by Komintern, in 1928. O the third issue, I discuss a few questions from Gramscian perspective as an alternative to the marxist-leninism of the Stalinist type and the contribution of the Russian Leon Trotsky. The Italian communist bequeathed appears as the dialectics overcome from the Third International inheritance, that are represented in the stalinist vulgate and in the trotskist thesis. From these readings and from the new Quaderni del Carcere editions, I propose that some interpretations that were perpetuated after the first Gramsci editions in Italy and created so-called “Western Marxism” are being repeated in Brazil and oppose Gramsci to the alternatives of revolutionary Marxism.
