Restructuring Hegemony' in the Age of Neo-liberal Globalization

Bu makale Hegemonik İstikrar ve Dünya Sistemikuramlarının epistemolojik ve ontolojik düzeydeeleştirel bir değerlendirmesini yapmayı ve günümüz dünyasında hegemonyanın yenideninşasını küreselleşme süreci ile ilişkilendirerekalternatif bir kuramsal rota sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu hedef doğrultusunda, yeni bir hegemonik yapılanma olarak ulusötesi tarihsel bloğunoluşum sürecinde sermayenin, devletin vetoplumsal üretim ilişkilerinin küresel biçimlenişinin oynadığı rolü değerlendirebilmek amacıylahegemonya meselesinin Gramscici bir ifadelendirmesi sunulacaktır. Bu bakış açısından hareketle en basit anlamıyla hegemonya, uluslararasıkurumlar, küreselleşme yanlısı siyasal elitler veulusötesi kapitalist sınıflardan müteşekkil ulusötesileşen toplumsal güçler arasında hakim olanbir mutabakat olarak kavramsallaştırılmaktadır.Kısaca ifade etmek gerekirse bu çalışma yeniGramscici yaklaşıma ve küresel kapitalizm kuramına dayanarak neo-liberal küreselleşme çağında hegemonyanın daha güncel ve analitik olarakdaha geçerli bir yorumunu sunmayı hedeflemektedir.

Neo-liberal Küreselleşme Çağında Hegemonyayı Yeniden Yapılandırmak

This article aims to present a critical evaluationof the theory of hegemonic stability and worldsystem theory on an epistemological and anontological basis and provides an alternativetheoretical route by associating the process ofglobalisation with the reconstruction of hegemony in today s world. In parallel with thisobjective, a Gramscian derived articulation ofhegemony is presented in order to analyze therole of the global configuration of capital, stateand social relations of production in the formation process of the transnational historic bloc asa new hegemonic constellation. From this pointof view, hegemony, in its simple terms, is conceptualized as a prevailing consensus amongtransnationalizing social forces consist of classes,international institutions, globally-minded,political elites and transnational capitalist class.Briefly stated, drawing on neo-Gramscian approach and theory of global capitalism, this studyaims to provide an up-to-date and analyticallyvalid conceptualization of hegemony in the ageof neo-liberal globalization.
