In this hugely influential book, Laclau and Mouffe examine the workings of hegemony and
contemporary social struggles, and their significance for democratic theory. With the
emergence of new social and political identities, and the frequent attacks on Left theory for
its essentialist underpinnings, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy remains as relevant as
ever, positing a much-needed antidote against 'Third Way'attempts to overcome the
antagonism between Left and Right.
