Re:Gramscian analysis of u.s.

["Xxxx Xxxxxx" <xxxx.xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I reviewed that stuff for my dissertation, but could not find anything
"very" useful. Gramscian analysis has been used to analyze
non-material/non-class sources of power, such as culture, civil society,
social movements etc. Some of the Gramscians are international relations
theorists. Robert Cox and Stephen Gill have applied Gramscian concepts and
framework to U.S. hegemony. Take a look at  Gill's _American Hegemony and
Trileteral Commission_ .

The best thing is to go with standard marxist analysis of hegemony. See
Petras, Gowan, Mandel, Wallerstein, Arrighhi, etc.

Pijl's _The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class_ is good too..

Gowan's _Global Gamble_ is one of the best..
