Thinking the Political

Combining rigorous theoretical debate with a set of articles exploring Ernesto Laclau's thinking of politics, leading international scholars of contemporary radical theory demonstrate the relevance of Laclau's work to conceptualizing the Political and politics. They critically assess Laclau's theoretical corpus over the past forty years, and evaluate the relevance of key post-Marxist concepts for the analysis of contemporary politics, including the Greek debt crisis, the Occupy movement and contemporary capitalism.
