ABSTRACT

The so-called Amsterdam School has been a pioneer in developing a theoretical framework for the transnational class dimension of the hegemonic world orders based on Gramscian core concepts and motives. Surprisingly, however, a dedicated analysis and assessment of the use of Gramsci’s key concepts by the School of Amsterdam still lack in the available literature, including the most recent comprehensive reviews. This contribution thus aims at adding a missing piece in the mosaic of the Neo-Gramscian approaches. As it is maintained here, a lacking conceptualization of the relationships between political power and transnational class agency constitutes the main shortfall in the Amsterdam School’s approach. A critical engagement with the Prison Notebooks’ hegemonic theory is thus needed to recast the Neo-Gramscian conceptualization of the transnational and to overcome the dichotomy between the globalization and inter-State approaches, by resolving the main theoretical flaws of the Amsterdam School theorization.

摘要

所谓的阿姆斯特丹学派一直是基于葛兰西核心概念和动机为霸权世界秩序的跨国阶级维度发展理论框架的先驱。然而，令人惊讶的是，阿姆斯特丹学派对葛兰西关键概念使用的专门分析和评估仍然缺乏可用的文献，包括最近的综合评论。因此，这一贡献旨在在新葛兰西方法的马赛克中添加一个缺失的部分。正如这里所坚持的那样，缺乏对政治权力和跨国阶级机构之间关系的概念化构成了阿姆斯特丹学派方法的主要缺陷。与监狱笔记本的关键接触因此，霸权理论需要通过解决阿姆斯特丹学派理论化的主要理论缺陷来重塑新葛兰西式的跨国概念，并克服全球化与国家间方法之间的二分法。
