Hegemony and the internationalizing state: A post‐colonial analysis of china's integration into Asian corporatism

Abstract

Gramscian globalists presume that internationalization means external‐ization, modernization, and Westernization, thereby enhancing the world‐hegemony of Western liberal capitalism. This paper proposes instead that internationalization mutates the world‐hegemony sometimes into non‐Western, non‐liberal orders of regional‐hegemony. As a case study, this paper focuses on China's internationalization into an Asian Corporatist regional‐hegemony in the 1980s‐1990s.¹
