In Restructuring Hegemony in the Global Political Economy, some of the most stimulating writers currently working in political economics trace the development of neo-liberalism in individual countries as well as on a global scale. They argue that this process began the defeat of the New International Economic Order, the Euro-Communist ascendancy in Western Europe and the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile, culminating in the collapse of practical socialism. The essays discuss the social forces involved in this process, their international linkages and their responses in a global context.

在重塑全球政治经济霸权的过程中，目前从事政治经济学工作的一些最具启发性的作家追踪了新自由主义在个别国家以及全球范围内的发展。他们认为，这一进程开始于新的国际经济秩序的失败、欧洲共产主义在西欧的崛起以及智利阿连德政府的推翻，最终导致了现实社会主义的崩溃。论文讨论了参与这一进程的社会力量、它们的国际联系以及它们在全球范围内的反应。
