ExpandingGeopolitical Economy: A Critique of the Theory of Successive Hegemonies

James Parisot

A chapter in Theoretical Engagements in Geopolitical Economy, 2015, vol. 30A, pp 155-174 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This paper situates geopolitical economy in light of a broader rethinking of the history of capitalism and international power. It discusses why the ideas of British and American hegemony are problematic. Specifically, it argues that categorizing these powers as hegemonic leaves out a more complex history that theories of hegemony have excluded, and cannot include, else the concept of hegemony would collapse. Finally, I suggest geopolitical economy may be a starting point for writing a new history of capitalism and world order.
