Southern Interregnum

This book maps the ruptures and mutations that are currently reshaping the political economy of the global South and the wider world-system. Analysing political and economic dynamics across Brazil, India, China, and South Africa, it proposes a novel reading of durable crisis, hegemonic projects, and possibilities for popular resistance. -- .

How do governing elites in the global South attempt to remake hegemony in a conjuncture of durable crisis? This is the question at the core of Southern interregnum, a comparative conjunctural analysis of hegemonic projects in Brazil, India, China, and South Africa.
Working with a Gramscian notion of crisis, centred on the interregnum as an enduring period of instability and uncertainty, in which hegemonic authority erodes and competing projects for crisis resolution emerge, the book proposes a novel critical reading of the convulsions that are currently reshaping the political economy of the global South and the world-system.
Mapping the variegated trajectories of elite projects to reconcile accumulation and legitimation and probing the limits of these projects the book breaks new ground in the study of the contemporary global South.
